rClone Mount + Plex Problems

[binarydata]

Hey Guys/Gals,

So I’ve setup rClone with VFS, using Fuse and running Plex. However I’m having an unfortunate issue,

I get Input/Output Errors;
dreadstarx@us01-plex-1:~$ sudo find /media/Plex/Movies/ -type d -print | wc -l
find: ‘/media/Plex/Movies/’: Input/output error

dreadstarx@us01-plex-1:~$ sudo find /media/Plex/Movies/ -type f -print | wc -l
find: ‘/media/Plex/Movies/’: Input/output error

Here is my configuration. Any ideas that I could try to fix it? Also, Plex won’t read my /media/Plex/Movies or Anime folder. Plex team says the library is too big, but I know people running a larger library than I have.

Your mount definitely is not ‘mounted’.

The service is a bit confusing as you are running it as root, but your config is in your home directory.

You might want to try rebooting the machine as I’d guess you have a hung process or something.

What’s the output of the systemctl status for your startup service?

Made a few tweaks trying to get things to work better.

Are you using the cache backend as well? What’s your rclone.conf look like minus keys and passwords?

ps -ef | grep rclone

shows how many rclone processes?

You should only see 1:

felix@gemini:~$ ps -ef | grep rclone
felix      604     1  1 Mar03 ?        00:33:17 /usr/bin/rclone mount gcrypt: /GD --allow-other --dir-cache-time 96h --drive-chunk-size 32M --log-level INFO --log-file /var/log/rclone.log --timeout 1h --umask 002 --rc

ps -ef | grep rclone

No cache. I used it before and it wrecked my system resources, then again, I was using a single 8 core proc with low clock speed, and a 6TB platter drive. Things might be different with NVMes
