Much appreciated.
This is a great thread here - I tried to follow your instructions, but my ubuntu struggles with permissions - even the simplest thing, creating a GD-mount fails, because of the permissions - could you alter your instructions and create some kind of "start-script" which includes the necessary commands to get the folder structure and permissions right ?
Sorry, if this is dumb...
Sorry as my goal is not a step by step tutorial and that's a huge amount of work to document and write through every command needed to set things up. It assumes a certain base level of expertise.
If you have any specific questions on why I have a setting, I can help on those.

Hey Animosity022,
thank you for your answer - as a first step it would be great, if you could tell me, how you managed to deal with all the permission things - let's start with a trivial example, maybe you can enlighten me 
In your scripts you mention the folder structure of yours: /GD, /data/local and /gdrive.
Whenever I create those (with "sudo mkdir /GD") they wont be accessible within Plex - what am I doing wrong here ?
You'd have to assign them the right permissions and user like any other directory you'd create in Linux. You can google something like "Linux permissions" and find tutorials and explanation for that.
Hey, I finally got nearly everything to work, thank you - the only thing which won't work is the mergerfs-service.
When I start it, the fs get mixed together BUT with strange side effects:
The Folder /gmedia shows in usercontext a red cross, not allowing to get into it or alter the permissions.
After opening it, a promt comes up with "gvfsd-admin authentication required" - afteer that a second promt with file operation authentication - have you ever had this kind of issue ? This will not allow me to share the /gmedia via samba to my download-server 
I love the idea of a merged folder with internal priority, so this would be great to finish
Nope. Best to start a new thread rather than using this one.
How does min-age work?
E.g. after a torrent file finishes downloading (for 3 days), and is moved to the media folder by Radarr, what will the min-age be?
Min-age is documented here;
You'd have to check the date on the file and go from there.
I've gone through that before coming here.

Hi.
I'm looking for my best rclone mount options. I've read through forums and I didn't find a solution yet. It's a little bit confusing.
I'm trying to achieve minimal loading/start play times in plex. I have mounted GDrive, no crypt and I'm using it just to stream, I'm not uploading anything.
so my choices are (as I understand):
vfs-cache modes :(file gets downloaded to disk and then streamed. I can choose how much of it would be downloaded and how big download chunks are)
buffering mode :(file gets downloaded to memory and then plays from memory)
read-only mode :(file just plays directly from drive)
Are these right explanations or I'm wrong?
For general questions, it's best to start a new post rather hijack another one.
Ok, sorry about that, I thought it was the appropriate topic, because I'm looking for best mount conf for Plex, just for streaming purposes, I'm not gonna upload anything to drive through rclone. What are you proposing?
Thx.
My settings are in the first post and if you have a specific question with my settings, please ask here. If you have general questions, please start a new topic. Thanks.
Hi, I'm using your configuration to mount the drive on my server for use with plex, and it works perfect except when I delete something from the drive, it takes a long time for plex to detect that change. Because it can be? Thank you!
Not sure what you mean.
You delete something not from Plex? From Plex? You'd want to empty the trash. My settings take polling changes every 15 seconds.
How does mergerfs cache affect Plex playback with your settings? Are you using partial or auto-full currently?
I've noticed no issues since I've been using mergerfs as it works fine.
