I was wondering if it was possible to mount an rclone disk in ntfs on windows

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

@ototos

mount

rclone mount

I know how to mount a disk with rclone.
is that I want to mount it in NTFS, as you can also see from the photo above, it tells me "file system: FUSE-rclone"

while I would like it like in the photo below:

I want to mount it in NTFS

why do you need NTFS ?

[ototos (otto)]

I have to try some configurations with some programs and I don't want to leave anything to chance.
I have to try to change.
I have to be sure

@ototos

some programs

which programs require NTFS only, that you need to use rclone with?

@ototos

I have to try to change.

try mounting to a folder, not a drive letter
try mounting to a network path

I'm trying to use symlink with Plex, but it's not working.
But reading online someone managed to make it work, they didn't use rclone.
But it was mounted in NTFS.

I've tried almost all of them, I just need to try to have an NTFS disk and then I can officially give up.

I tried to mount the disk in a folder, I tried to mount it in network mode, I tried in all ways, it's plex that hates symlinks coming from a disk different from the one on which it is installed.

ok, now that you finally explained what you need help with,
i wrote about a similar issue a few times in the forum.

try the following, change the paths as needed.

1. mkdir c:\plex
2. rclone mount remote: c:\plex\rclone
3. point plex to c:\plex

Sorry, I have to understand...

Are you asking me to move the Plex Media Server folder located in c:<user>\appdata\local to Windows?
Or are you asking me to mount the external disk in the plex folder?
Sorry, I'm not very practical, or in any case I don't speak English well, I have to try to understand well

I created a plex folder in c:\

I mounted my disk in c:\plex\rclone as you suggested

I created symlink and placed it in the c:\plex folder

but if I start the scan on plex, it scans the files in c:\plex\rclone.
It does not work..

@ototos

what do you need the symlink for??

@ototos

but if I start the scan on plex

scan c:\plex, not c:\plex\rclone

Because I can't rename and the files are badly written, plex can't recognize them.
The only way is to create a symbolic link and rename the files.
