What is the problem you are having with rclone?

rclone service mount for music files to be played via Plex. I'm not having any performance issues, but I get a warning so I'd like to update whatever is necessary to avoid issues once cache is deprecated.

Rclone version:

rclone v1.63.1

Which cloud storage system are you using?

Dropbox

The command you were trying to run:

rclone mount cachemusicremote: /mnt/music --config=/home/myuser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --log-file=/opt/music.log --allow-other

The rclone config content:

[dropboxmusic]
type = dropbox
token = ----
client_id = ----
client_secret = ---

 [cachemusicremote] 
type = cache
remote = dropboxmusic:Music
chunk_size = 10M
 info_age = 2d
chunk_total_size = 1G
plex_username = ------
plex_password = ---------
plex_url = https://-------.tld
plex_token = ------------

A log from the command with the -vv flag

Yes cache backend you are using is deprecated. It has bugs nobody will fix etc.

You should use VFS caching. Here good example for dropbox mount:

However if cache works for you and you do not have any issues - you can continue using it and ignore warnings.
