Mounted drive disappears

[tridral]

I mount two Google accounts as two drives on Ubuntu. One seems to be stable the other disappears randomly and I have no idea why. I would appreciate help in diagnosing the cause of the problem. Thank you!

When the drive disappears it's 'sort of' still there. Even though it's not visible i can 'cd' to it,but if I ty[e 'ls' I get

ls: cannot open directory '.': Input/output error

I then unmount the drive
fusermount -u
And get my empty mountpoint back

I then remount the drive it appears fora moment and then disappears again.

I would like any help with diagnosing the fault.

Same for me. -debug does nothing

Thanks for replying @JuanoD . I'm sorry that you have a problem, but on the other hand, I'm glad I'm not alone.

For me the setup worked for weeks and then stopped and I can't get it back again.
Even more peculiar, I have two drives set up. One has never failed.

I've just run the mount again with -debug

I get a log file gdfuse.log under the label I'm using for the drive. In there, there is this :

[1.498596] TID=4: Error during request: Unexpected error response: {
"error": "invalid_grant",
"error_description": "Token has been expired or revoked."
}

I shall investigate further. ...

I reran the

google-drive-ocamlfuse -id xxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com -secret XXX-YYY-ZZZ

business and now the 'mount' runs without an error in the gdfuse.log file, but the drive still does not mount.

I deleted all the configuration information for tis drive (see under /homel/.gdfuse/...)

I then reran the

google-drive-ocamlfuse -id xxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com -secret XXX-YYY-ZZZ

Thing and authorised the drive via a browser.

I now have a drive again (for how long...?)

So this may be worth a try. Delete all the config information for this drive and authorise it again. See if that brings it back.

If you have more than one drive, referenced via a different label, make sure you are removing just the one you want to re-authorise.

It seems to have worked for me.

Thanks for explaining how you solved it. After reading your comments, I went to ~/.gdfuse/default/state and deleted last_access_token, refresh_token, and auth_request_id

Then ran:

google-drive-ocamlfuse -id xxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com -secret XXX-YYY-ZZZ

Performed web auth

fusermount -u /path/to/mount
google-drive-ocamlfuse -debug /path/to/mount

It works again.

I love this piece of software and is the only one that solves the drive sync problem for linux users AFAIK, but seems a bit unstable lately. Every time I re-install, I have to deal with different stuff.

I'm glad that proved helpful

It would be nice to hear back from the developer at some point to see if there's a better solution.

anyway, I'm glad that you have your drive back!
