pcloud-drive on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pcloud-drive/
I am using kernel 5.4 due to the benefits for AMD RX 5700 users and preferably would like to continue, and I'm unsure of any other fuse issues. At least nothing comes up in the Bug Tracker or via other searches.
When running pCloud Drive via the cli this output occurs:
Down: Everything Downloaded| Up: Everything Uploaded, status is CONNECTING
Update for linux-x64-prod-v1.7.1 is not available
fuse: reading device: Invalid argument
Down: Everything Downloaded| Up: Everything Uploaded, status is SCANNING
Down: Everything Downloaded| Up: Everything Uploaded, status is READY
fuse: missing mountpoint parameter
I'm not sure exactly how the fuse mountpoint is being created here. I'd like to find that out, but I'm not sure how (the app's code doesn't give me many hints). I did reach out to pCloud's support for info, but as they don't support Arch Linux I'm not holding my breath with them.
So does anyone have any inkling to why there would be an issue on linux 5.4, and if there's a possible fix?

Just wanted to say I'm having the same issue so you're not alone. I haven't found a solution so I just rolled my kernel back to 5.3.13 for now. Let us know if you hear anything from pCloud support. Thanks.

is queued for 5.4.2 is the issue still present with that commit applied?

Same issue for me. Had to roll back from 5.4.1 to 5.3.13.

Thanks for the post. I have been beating my head against a wall for the last hour trying to figure out what was going on.

Kernel 5.4.2 was published today but I always have the same issue as previous posters...
Then, I downgraded again to 5.3.13 to have pcloud working. Any info ?
Thanks for this thread

Could someone affected bisect the kernel between 5.3 and 5.4 and find the causal commit?
Offline
Great idea, but I've never compiled a kernel and certainly not bisecting between two releases...

It appears to be this commit: fuse: require /dev/fuse reads to have enough buffer capacity (take 2), where they're now enforcing a minimum buffer size. Probably something for the pCloud devs to address. But with this commit removed pCloud Drive seems to run fine on 5.4.2.

There's a work around using rclone on AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pclo … ent-720581
Of course the fallback LTS 4.19 works fine too.

Today !
The new version of pcloud is available:
New in version : 1.7.2

Added support for Kernel 5.4.0 and later

Happy days, built my new Arch system on Sunday morning and pCloud was the only thing that refused to work. Had a hunch it was due to the kernel updates.
Now ready to move over from Manjaro full time
Edit: Confirmed this fixes the issue and it now works as intended

Pcloud released new version 1.7.2 which fixes the fuse mount issue
Offline
I've installed the latest pCloud 1.7.2, but that version does not mount pCloud as a device. It simply shows as a folder under my home and not all the folders on pCloud show. Only folder showing is duplicati, my back up folder.
Anyone else with this issue?
Is there a way to cause pCloud to mount as a device, or is that in the pCloud code?

Make sure you mount point directory is empty @Gotit. The new kernel apparently refuses to mount if the directory is not empty whereas previously it was happy to mount on a directory with contents. Deleting the default pCloudDrive files I had in my mount point directory solved the issue for me.

@pmcnr deleting the pCloudDrive folder in my home directory did the trick, THANKS!
I was going in circles trying to get the mount point to be empty and couldn't figure out what was preventing it. Spent time in mtab and /sys/fs and...

The hell... This thread got all these replies? I thought I was subscribed. Didn't get any emails...
Regardless, as already pointed out pCloud 1.7.2 fixed the issue.
Basically I'm under the impression the software devs updated to fuse3.
