Hi @Animosity022,
Hope you don't mind me posting in here.
I had a perfect setup running not too long back, very similar to yours actually, with no issues whatsoever but had a hard drive fail and didn't have script backup. I used it as an opportunity to go to a new dedicated server.
Now I'm trying to set it up again, and it's simply not running as expected which is strange as I really had a good working MergerFS, Rclone Mount and upload script over night running.
My issue seems to be MergerFS. When I point Plex directly at the rclone mount it runs perfect. No issues whatsoever.
When I point it at the MergerFS mount, it constantly buffers, super slow start time, etc. Just very, very inconsistent.
I did a seektest, and it shows it here too.
Just wondering, any ideas? I've exhausted all of the forum, documentation, etc, plenty of different configurations and so on. No idea why.
The box is a i7 6700, 32gb ram, 3x4TB HDD's, along with 1gbps premium bandwidth at OVH. More than adequate.
Here is the seek test, the first is the rclone mount directly (google_media folder), and the second is the mergerfs folder (gmedia).

There are no errors that I can see in the log, so I'm a bit stumped and lost for what it could be. When a -stats 1s is running, there's a max of 1MB/s when streaming through plex.
Would love any help.
