Actually no, I set it like that on my VPS while scanning the library. With a set buffer it will download to much at one time when scanning / analyzing which makes rclone shoot up in memory usage till it crash and burns. With —buffer-size on 0 it can scan the whole 28TB on a 2GB VPS.
EDIT: If i scan my library using built in scanner it will still fill up the memory and crash Rclone. Setting —buffer-size back to 0 solves it for me.
I just set it cause Animosity022 had a good explanation in his posts in the other thread. Don’t know if it does something for direct streams as I’m unable to test. For transcoding it works fine.
@Linhead: How do you see the data it uses? My VPS provider only counts egress data so don’t have an overview of my Ingress from gdrive to my VPS. Any Linux program that can count this?
@Animosity022: Was your post directed to Linhead or to me
