gocryptfs Operation not Permitted when using rclone/dropbox as backend

Regardless of root or non-root, gocryptfs works out of the box, as long I operate on natiave volumes (ext4)

But when I try to use an encrypted folder, located on a rclone mounted volume, it does not work. The target folder would be outside of the volume, of course.

I always get an Operation not permitted, when I try to create files. Creating folders works. Of course, I also tried every possible combination of ownership, permissions, and even the allow_all/force_owner.

Site note: encfs works without any errors.

OS: Debian 11 rclone: 1.60.1 gocryptfs: 1.8 and 2.3

Hi arakis,

Thanks Dani

Using --vfs-cache-mode might be necessary for rclone mount.
