rclone log file seems buggy

[pedz]

I have a freshly updated TrueNAS-13.0-U5 system and a somewhat typical cloud sync task created from the web interface going to BackBlaze. I look at the log file to see how it is doing and part of the output seems like gibberish.

For example:

Transferred: 58.003 GiB / 156.367 GiB, 37%, 1 B/s, ETA -90y4w6d11h40m12s838ms

While the entries for the individual files looks much more reasonable:

* BackBlaze/Media-Librar…060_230516RJ_CANON.CRM: 8% /107.752Gi, 4.749Mi/s, 5h53m28s

This probably isn't a TrueNAS issue but an rclone issue but I thought I would check here first.

rclone --version
rclone v1.57.0-DEV
- os/version: freebsd 13.1-release-p7 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 13.1-release-p7 (amd64)
- os/type: freebsd
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.17.5
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none

This isn't a big deal. I'm just looking at the log file to get an idea if the transfer is going smoothly, etc.

As I mentioned, I just applied the last update but I did that because the previous version of rclone also had weird looking log files with similar problems. The "Transferred:" lines had very low numbers for the bandwidth being used and 26 weeks for the estimated time the transfer will complete when in fact it should complete in a few days.

Not gibberish. It's estimating 90+ years to completion, based on an upload rate of 1 B/s.

Maybe it's an rclone bug in how speed is incorrectly determined from the transfer?
