Rclone.cache.size limit

[akitamostodos (Tomy)]

Hello I have s question about cache.

I use to mount some flags

--cache-dir=/home/ubuntu/media/rclonecache --dir-cache-time=48h --vfs-read-chunk-size=64M --vfs-cache-mode=writes

When I mount and copy files this files are stored on cache dir, ok

If i use

--vfs-cache-max-size 2G And i copy a bigger file... What will happens?

And if i define cache size 100 gigas and i copy multiple files and all of them are bigger than cache??

Lot of thanks

Assuming you have enough free space on the cache, it copies.

Same thing as above.

Rclone doesn't create space so you need cache space for the file. Once the file is copied, it uploads it to bring the cache size back to what you've defined.
