Description vedad 2025-11-29 21:24:07 UTC 
In order for rclone mount to work as /etc/fstab entry, the "mountprog" option needs to be specified.

See discussion here:

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7432

Additionally, for this to work, rclone expects the program name to be either "mount.rclone" or "rclonefs":

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/a99d155fd4e091504ded67a36ea3111b0e765f5d/fs/mount_helper.go#L50

This (not merged) PR was suggesting to symlink "rclonefs" to "rclone" on FreeBSD:

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/8476

It'd be nice to update the port to create this symlink.
