if just creating a rclone mount, a dedicated partition is not a requirement.
i explain the logic in my wiki
however, creating VSS snapshots and rclone mounts on c:, can get very confusing and lead to all kinds of mistakes from typos or from a script.
i have a python script that coordinates all my backups using VSS, 7zip, fastcopy and of course rclone.
I made such a mistake and paid a heavy price.
for such a mistake, have to make sure it never happens twice.
The most reliable and least confusing solution was to create a tiny partition 1GB in size.
