By default where does rclone cache to?

Marinette · August 19, 2024, 6:42pm

RAM or DISK
if disk then which directory?

kapitainsky · August 19, 2024, 7:55pm

Cache what? What rclone command?

Maybe docs will help you:

Marinette · August 19, 2024, 8:54pm

what rclone command?

rclone mount

rclone server

Marinette · August 20, 2024, 3:33am

Where does rclone cache for these commands?

kapitainsky · August 20, 2024, 4:19am

Check docs link I sent you.

Marinette · August 21, 2024, 3:42pm

Its not stated in docs.
If present show screenshot and prove

asdffdsa · August 21, 2024, 4:36pm

disk. but if you want to use memory, then use a ramdisk

How to use RAMDISK in Windows?

asdffdsa · August 30, 2024, 8:58pm

for many years now, this is what i choose to use

kapitainsky · August 30, 2024, 9:07pm

Of course choice is yours but it is IMO waste of RAM. Cache speed is not really bottleneck unless for very exotic and advanced workflows.

And it has downside that is not persistent...

Something is strange, in Windows i mounted gdrive and playing a video in mpv but %LOCALAPPDATA%\rclone does,nt have cache

the cache is disabled by default.

to enable it, use --vfs-cache-mode. for example, --vfs-cache-mode=full
to specify the location of the vfs file cache, use --cache-dir

and check out my summary of the two rclone vfs caches

not sure what that is?
please post the output of rclone version

Marinette · August 31, 2024, 9:51pm

@asdffdsa if cache is disabled then how does rclone let mpv play video, does rclone store video data in RAM to play it?

asdffdsa · August 31, 2024, 9:56pm

first, post the output of rclone version.

Marinette · August 31, 2024, 9:58pm

rclone v1.67.0

os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 10.0.22631.4037 (x86_64)
os/type: windows
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.23.0
go/linking: static
go/tags: cmount

asdffdsa · August 31, 2024, 10:01pm

the log you posted has v1.67.5
just trying to understand that difference?
