Rclone Cache + Plex - Long Scan & Long Load

[Animosity022]

You seem to be mixing the rclone cache and the vfs configs together.

If you want to just use VFS, you can use a config I have here:

My VFS SweetSpot - Updated 15-Jul-2018

I was trying to find a way to use a nice fuse parameter for auto_cache to deal with repeat plex opening and closing of the files so based on @ncw other post on how to leverage the native Linux fuse flags by compiling with the cmount option, I did that. I wanted to remove my mergerfs and just use vfs-cache-mode writes to deal with uploads to remove a layer from the puzzle and I got down to my quickest analyzes/mediainfo/ff-probes so far, which leads to my quickest start times. I build from sour…

Or simply just use:

rclone mount gcrypt: /GD \
   --allow-other \
   --read-only \
   --dir-cache-time 48h \
   --vfs-read-chunk-size 16M \
   --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 2G \
   --buffer-size 512M \
   --log-level INFO

That says keep a cache of the directory and file names for 48 hours. Start off with a chunk size of 16M and allow it to grow when it wants to read up to 2G and keep a buffer-size of 512M in memory. This helps with direct playing and scanning.

So you want to configure in your rclone conf the root remote (GD) and a crypt on top of that and mount the crypt basically removing the cache from the equation. You can leave your .rclone.conf having both if you want to test later or change things around.
