 ## Rclone Mount
 
-You can also mount a local directory to a Linode Object Storage bucket. The one caveat to this is that the local directory must be empty. You should also know that the `rclone mount` command does take a long time to complete. It's a known issue that writes to `rclone mount` are extremely slow. Because of this, your best bet is to use the `rclone sync` command instead. However, if you still want to mount a directory, the command is straightforward. To mount the local directory, `/home/example-user/LINODE` to a bucket named `DATA` on the Linode remote, use the following command:

You should also know that the `rclone mount` command does take a long time to complete. You can run mount in either foreground or background or daemon mode. Mount runs in foreground mode by default. Use the `--daemon` flag to force background mode. To mount the local directory, `/home/example-user/LINODE` to a bucket named `DATA` on the Linode remote, use the following command:
 
 ```command
-rclone mount Linode:DATA /home/example-user/LINODE
+rclone mount Linode:DATA /home/example-user/LINODE --daemon
 ```
 
 Once the directory is mounted, dump all of the necessary files into the local source and they are synced with the remote destination.
