Fatal error: unknown flag: --vfs-cache-mode

[AtomicRobotMan0101]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

With a Google Photos config and running rclone rcd --rc-web-gui

produces:

NOTICE: Google Photos path "": --vfs-cache-mode writes or full is recommended for this remote as it can't stream

Using the suggested --vfs-cache-mode produces Fatal error: unknown flag: --vfs-cache-mode

What you tried is not valid according to documented basic syntax, as it does not specify a subcommand:

rclone --vfs-cache-mode=full

I haven't used rcd much myself, but I'm guessing the following is what you need to do, try it out:

rclone rcd --rc-web-gui --vfs-cache-mode=full

The erroneous suggestion is produced by the binary.

As the user, I was simply following the directive.

I shall fork and push an update when fixed.

I do not see what you mean.

When you run:

rclone rcd --rc-web-gui

It recommends:

--vfs-cache-mode writes or full is recommended for this remote as it can't stream

And blindly following that would give you correct result:

rclone rcd --rc-web-gui --vfs-cache-mode full

But maybe I missed your point. And you are, of course, free to submit a pull request if you think something can be improved.
