What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I'm experimenting with vfs with mount to see if there any speedup on file read and observed the following in the cache dir:
- if I'm accessing a pdf file, then only that pdf file is cached
- if I'm trying to access a photo, then all the photos & videos in that folder will be cached and I can't do anything before all of them are downloaded
Q: How may I change the service configuration to make picture/media file caching in the same way that pdf is?
Some notes of my config:
- I'm using
--vfs-cache-mode full - I'm specifically setting
--vfs-read-chunk-size 1Mto speed up small file readings, as I noticed when it set to larger value, I wait much longer waiting on something (tested on photo files) never been cached before (verified by looking at the cache folder changes) - I have 4 different drives mounted, 2 OneDrive, 1 Mega and 1 Box. OneDrives are my major used ones.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.59.1
- os/version: debian 10.10 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.18.4-amd64-desktop-hwe (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.18.5
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
OneDrive is the one I'm observing this behavior, others not tested.
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
Just click the photo in the mounted drive, no command running.
