Crontab Rsync and Permissions

[jwaltrip4]

Sorry for the newb questions

google-drive-ocamlfuse set up under my user account (User account is also admin)

• all working fine.

rsync run manually copy's files from google drive just fine (runs from my logon)

I put the rsync under crontab -e, and it fails. when I look at permissions under root I see this: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? James_GD

Error I get from rsync is sending incremental file list rsync: link_stat "/home/jwaltrip/James_GD" failed: Permission denied (13)

sent 20 bytes received 12 bytes 64.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1207) [sender=3.1.3]

Is there a way to make the google drive mount visible to root?

Yes, you should mount with -o allow_root.

OK, I am still dumb...

I do have this working now.... /etc/crontab lets me specify user account, so it works...

But.... where does "-o allow_root." go?

But.... where does "-o allow_root." go?

It's a command line option. E.g.:

google-drive-ocamlfuse -o allow_root /path/to/gdrive
