Google-drive-ocamlfuse: ocamlfuse on Ubuntu 14.04 uploads are very slow

[kellnerp]

For a 638MB upload more than 2 hours was predicted.
The connection is fast > 10mb/s
The indicated upload speed is ~68kB/sec
ocamlfuse was run in a terminal with debug on to watch the behavior.
ocamlfuse seems to be rewriting files that it has already written (they can be opened in a Navigator window.)
ocamlfuse seems to be getting a report back from google drive (error -2) that a file doesn't exist when it does and then proceeds to re-upload the file. This will change the icon from a preview to a clock for a file that was previously uploaded.
error -61 comes up a lot assiciated with GETXATTR
For example this snapshot of debug output was taken when the last file uploaded was DSC00094.JPG

If you need maximum upload speed, consider using https://github.com/odeke-em/drive or https://github.com/ncw/rclone.

I was aware of those. But is this program not supported anymore?

Sure it is. But slow uploads are caused by FUSE + Drive API. So if you need fast uploads, feel free to use another client.

Thanks. What I needed to know.

At least as far as fuse is concerned have you filed a bug report? I have no idea what to tell them if I do it.

No, it's not a bug. The problem is that FUSE is not designed to serve remote filesystems.
