      @BackblazeNathan Hoping you can help me to understand what's going on. I have rclone performing a PoC sync from an external volume that is backing up into our B2 account and bucket.

      On a few files I'll get an ERROR: File/Name Failed to copy: Post long url: file already closed

      Based on the documentation here the error code means the "method is not allowed".

      What does this actually mean, and is there anyways to quickly resolve said issue(s)?

        This doesn't occur on any pattern of a file, large files or small files seem to be randomly affected or not. Running the sync again some times seems to work. Is there a better approach to syncing that I should be looking at?

          Worth nothing that a least a few of the files that error'd with the Post code are being sync'd now, so is the Post error something to simply ignore?

            So with doing some more digging and running rclone in verbose mode, this appears to be an issue with the workstation closing the SSH connection.

            Anyone have any idea on how to better handle this?

              Looks like I'll need to make 1 small edit to each workstation's ssh_config file.

              ServerAliveInterval 120 as an addition should do. ConnectionTimeout 0 is a default that's disabled as well, so that may have some issues.

              Will test and report back.

                So adjusting the ServerAliveInterval seems to have done the trick, it's a simple and small change; at least as far as I've tested since this morning.

                But!

                I'm having a hell of a time with rclone and this 1 damn file, it keeps failing to sync this 1 file to B2 for some god forsaken reason and is really ticking me off and ruining my PoC.

                It'll copy the file to B2 to 100% and then start over again for some reason. . . . the file is almost 4GB (but this is smaller than other files that have finished) and the logs don't really point to a specific reason this 1 file is not syncing.

                ffs!

                  Manually uploading the file with Cyberduck did work, so I'm not sure where to go with this. . .

                    Maybe just drafting policy to have the backup checked would make the most sense, but I'm not sure how / where that would work as a lot of these things are just going to be a dumping ground of files.

                      Turns out this may be a bug in rclone that potentially is fixed in https://beta.rclone.org/branch/v1.49.0-041-g6ade4a26-fix-already-closed-beta/

                      Testing now approximately 2 minutes to find out. (of course it could just have worked this time who honestly knows).

                        No dice just yet, finishing a beer and headed home. Going to see if this can get resolved tomorrow.
