Hey, you have cache-db-purge in your mount. that will purge the dir cache everytime you mount. You do not want that.
Yeah⌠I already removed that.
rclone mount gcrypt: /mnt/disks/media --allow-other --dir-cache-time=48h --cache-info-age=72h --cache-chunk-path=/mnt/user/rc_chunks --cache-db-path=/mnt/user/rc_db --cache-workers=7 --cache-tmp-upload-path=/mnt/user/rclone_upload --cache-tmp-wait-time 60m --buffer-size 0M --attr-timeout=1s --rc --log-level DEBUG --log-file=/mnt/user/data/rclog/rclonecache.log &
thats my mount.
âdir-cache-time is the length to cache dir entries. I setup a cron to do the recursive ls of my media dir every 2 days
With those settings, will rclone still pick up NEW files added from outside of the cache? Or will it take 48 hours for them to show up in rclone? And what about file changes?
finding a new file thats not in the dir cache takes about 5-7 seconds. Im starting to populate my media now that im done testing so im running the ls more often on the new server. It will find the new files it just takes a little longer to find the dir entry.
I noticed that youâre on an older version of the script. Thought Iâd link you to the original, it has an added âTime to watchâ calculation. Would be cool to see what yours ends up being.

Ha, nice. Here is my 2 big sections:
Library = Movies
Minutes = 187429
Hours = 3123
Days = 130
Library = TV Shows
Minutes = 753709
Hours = 12561
Days = 523Wow thatâs long.
Mine is nothing compared to yours. Currently at 16TB.
Library = Movies
Minutes = 31417
Hours = 523
Days = 21
Library = TV Shows
Minutes = 72643
Hours = 1210
Days = 50
Yeah, my entire ls on the mount happens in subsecond with everything cached:
[felix@gemini gmedia]$ time ls -alR | wc -l
32348
real 0m0.826s
user 0m0.061s
sys 0m0.147s
Good info, guysâŚ
My ls timing on 1st run:
$ time ls -alR | wc -l
266990
real 7m30.164s
user 0m3.860s
sys 0m5.020s
Then second pass:
$ time ls -alR | wc -l
266990
real 0m31.662s
user 0m3.770s
sys 0m4.720s
Unfortunately, the scan is still taking a very long time though⌠
I have been monitoring the scanner log. Itâs interesting⌠It seems like Plex is taking multiple passes through the directories. The first time through, the âTaking directoryâŚâ log entries have a â# leftâ which decreases with every directory it scans. I thought the scan would be done when it reached zero left. However, it seems to be going through everything again. I see this now:
- Taking directory âDoctor Who/Season 10â (5956) out of the map (0 left)
Any thoughts on how the scanner works? I should try this again with PlexDrive and see what happensâŚ
If you grab the plex-analyze script from the link up a few posts, what is the output at the bottom?
21320 files in library

Iâm interested in seeing the missing analyzation info.

You have a lot of analysis left to do still.
Use the plex-analyze-cli.py script there as well. Thatâll take some time and let that run to analyze the rest of your library. Once that # hits 0, scans should be quick.
my stats ( but i removed time to watch from my own script

I still having very long running TV scans in Plex. I have run the analyze script several times. Interestingly, I must have some strange files in my library. Plex plays them fine, but it doesnât show the bitrate metadata. Maybe they are variable bitrate? So, the analyze script includes them every time it runs since itâs selection criteria is the lack of bitrate metadata in the Plex database. If you are interested, here is the mediainfo output for one of them:

So, Iâm not much better off than I was before. Iâm also not totally convinced that the lack of fully analyzed files is what is slowing down the scan. I only have 150 or so files that donât have the bitrate metadata.
Whatâs your library stats now? If you are having problems with certain files, you might need to do the plex dance (move a file out, scan library, delete, re-add the file, scan). Iâve seen before where the metadata for a particular file doesnât quite work until the dance is done.
