Has anyone tried to keep Plex database/Meta database on rclone? how was the speed and were you able to avoid corruption? I did a search and couldn't really find what i was looking for but i'd like to stick all my plex data on an rclone mount to keep all the disk space for transcoding/other downloads in transit. Right now my plex data is taking up about 400gigs
I think it's possible as it should work, but from a speed perspective and the size of your plex DB, I am not sure how nice it would play on a cloud remote.
I'd save my time and just buy a cheap SSD to drop it on and you'd make out much better.
If you do want to put plex there, there are a few things to take into account as it's a SQL Lite database so you need to use:
--use-mmap Use mmap allocator (see docs).
There are a couple sections on mergerfs's github which explains why:
What's the size of your library? I only have 73GB of metadata/plex database with a decent size library.
It's a dedicated box in a data center, not as simple as adding additional storage and only having a one time fee.
Unknown as I don't know your provider or any other details than what you shared.
Most providers getting a little bit of disk space is cheap and less headache.
So without some details, it's all I can offer 
i am about 120TB of video files.
Do you have video thumbnail previews on or something else turned on?
I have about 45TB more data than you and our numbers are way off when comparing 400GB vs my 73GB.
thanks for that i went back and rechecked, it's the container image itself that is 400GB not just the plex data... i can reduce that
