Read/write for all systems?

Help and Support
1

I’m using rclone with crypt and have a question. Is there a valid reason not to point plex, sonarr, and radarr directly to the acd read/write volume? My thoughts are all the programs can delete things without having to manually do it via the file system. Thoughts/Comments?

Any thoughts guys? Does everyone mount to a read partition or read/write partition and why?

I place a union fs over my mounts so I can better stream the adds/deletions to the cloud providers. Just makes a smoother experience for me.

/data/Media1 <- Local FS
/data/Media2 <- Cloud FS
/data/Media <- unionfs of Media1 (RW) and Media2(RO).

My KODI uses /data/Media for read/write. Periodically throughout the data I run a sync like this:

echo +---------------------------------------+
echo  Apply change deltas to cloud volume $CLOUD_FSDIR
echo +---------------------------------------+
 rclone \
   --size-only \
   --verbose \
 copy /data/Media1 /data/Media2

echo +---------------------------------------+
echo Age/remove things that have been HIDDEN on UNION
echo +---------------------------------------+
 rclone \
   --size-only \
   --verbose \
 sync /data/Media /data/Media2

I keep some data locally but in your use case you could use a ‘move’ instead to just move changes to the cloud provider.

Does anyone point sonarr and/or radarr to r/w volumes or do you typically point it towards the RO? I would prefer to point to the R/W to make media mgmt easier via the UI. I just didn’t know if there are any negatives configuring it in this manner.

All my media gets copied up to ACD within minutes of it downloading.
