Rclone Mount Causing out of Memory in Unraid

[Animosity022]

@TheFreemancer

Can you check if I understand everything correctly?
–buffer-size 512M means the MAX total ram used by rclone will be 512mb

Doesn't seem you read my post above?

This is how buffer-size works -> rclone mount

--fast-list doesn't do anything on a mount so it can be removed.

@TheFreemancer

–vfs-read-chunk-size 128M means when streaming, rclone will read 128M segment till it maxes out 512MB, this means 4 segments and the delimited amount of RAM is reached.

vfs-read-chunk-size doesn't have anything to do with memory. It makes a request to the remote for a range of data and starts to download it via that size.

@TheFreemancer

unionfs -o cow,allow_other,direct_io,auto_cache,sync_read /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs=RW /mnt/user/mount_unionfs/google_vfs

direct_io breaks a few things, but if you aren't storing metadata on there or torrenting from it, you might be ok. I keep it off myself in my mergefs config.
