The VFS cache doesn't behave like that - it will upload things in the background while running the mount. However things won't get uploaded until the queue is clear.
@ncw Doesn't behave like what? Sorry I am lost as to what "that" is referring to.
Why can't the mount becoming active and for it to then do the uploading from the queue? instead of the opposite?
I was referring to "If you have a large set of files in your upload queue, the mount doesn't become active until the queue is cleaned out "
I'm saying the mount doesn't behave like that. It will become active, then upload things from its queue. At least that is what it does in my tests!
