whats the best mount for macos ??
im currently using this setting

sudo rclone cmount onedrive: /Users/jackiezhao/OneDrive
--allow-other
--allow-non-empty
--dir-cache-time 96h
--vfs-cache-max-age 48h
--vfs-read-chunk-size 64M
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 2G
--vfs-cache-mode writes
--cache-dir /Users/jackiezhao/RcloneCache
--buffer-size 32M
--syslog
--umask 002
--log-level INFO
--log-file /var/log/rclone.log

my main purpose is to have a local drive that can stream 1080p videos and to upload large files !!
can i set this as a downloader path ?

hello and welcome to the forum,

did you test that mount command, is there something that did not work the way you expected?

  • --allow-non-empty almost always not needed
  • i have two mounts, pointing to the same remote.
    • one mount for streaming, mounted as read-only and no vfs flags.
    • one mount for upload/download
3

Can you show me the mount setting for both ?

4

I point it to the cache folder and see nothing there .. nothing is been cache ..

5

about your mount command, did you try it?
is there something wrong with it?

6

the read only mount for streaming. which i mount on windows computer.
rclone mount gcrypt: g: --attr-timeout 1000h --dir-cache-time 1000h --poll-interval 0 --rc --read-only

then to prime the mount, to enable emby to quickly scan the mount.
rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true

Hello, thanks for the tips about vfs/refresh.
I'm on a mac too and experiencing very slow performances such as unable to use preview even for simple PDFs. Do you have such a behaviour?

8

i am not a macos user.

when dealing with a file browser,
i disable generating icons, previews and anything that will access the file.

Thanks, I've made a complete rework of my config using caches as found in animosity's work
Now everything is ok
Btw, I'll try this for getting more speed
