is there a set of settings for rclone cache that will not cache any file data other than hashes/name/structure/size/date?

I want to be able to run lsd lsl commands very quickly using locally stored data, but I don’t want to waste local storage space caching the actual file contents, is this possible? What I’m worried about is that the hashes and names and sizes do take up some local storage, so if I set the maximum chunk storage to 0gb or 1gb or something super small then won’t it just see that I’m about to start downloading a backup of a bluray and wipe out all my critical lsd/lsl/hash data to make room for a random portion of that bluray?

The chunks are stored in a different place to the metadata so I don’t think they will interact (I haven’t looked at that bit of code though!)

Okay cool.
Followup.
I currently am setup with crypt=“gdrive:crypt”
I want cache.
Can I just setup a cache that’s cache=“gdrive:crypt”
then setup a new crypt that’s “cache:”
or should I attempt to do a serverside move?
rclone move “gdrive:crypt:” “gdrive:cache/crypt”
? I’d rather not have to move 2million files in order to turn caching on…

Yes that should work fine and no you shouldn’t have to move anything about!
