Breakdown fo commands for cache vs VFS

Hi all,

maybe a silly question… but for clarity has someone compiled or know the arguments directly related to Cache vs Remote… they are very confusingly names so when constructing a mount script you get lost as to which ones you need to include for either function!!!

if I am being silly please just tell me… :slight_smile:

It is all documented on the wiki:

https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/

Is there a particular question you had?

so the only commads not titled with VFS in it is

–cache-dir string
–buffer-size
–attr-timeout

the rest of the --cache command refer to the cache side of things and not VFS???

that’s the part I’m not clear on. :frowning:

Cache Dir is explained here:

https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#file-caching

Buffer Size is explained here:

https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#file-buffering

There is a lot of documentation on the cache here:

https://rclone.org/cache/

VFS and Cache are two different things. Cache is its own backend and has it’s own set of commands/configuration. I just use the VFS backend myself as that meets my needs for streaming with Plex.

sorry… think I’m getting it…

can you share your mount script at all??
