Hey folks - want some advice/review on options for mount setup I have going.
Background:
I am home-brewing a minio setup at my laptop (I like the idea of seamless versioning and replication to a central server)
I want to mount the relevant minio s3 buckets to Windows so I can use like a normal folder (mainly excel for important stuff; but occasionally PDFs and other work related files)
My mount command looks like this - appreciate any comments / suggestions.
rclone mount
(bucket path)
s:
--cache-dir=c:\temp\rclone-cache
--network-mode
--vfs-cache-mode=full
--vfs-fast-fingerprint
--dir-cache-time 59s
--rc
Why I did what I did:
--cache-dir=c:\temp\rclone-cache can't figure out how how cache size/freshness is done so just have it here in easy location to clean out from time to time.
--network-mode excel seems to get confused about file-locking if done as a fixed disk and this seems to solve problem.
--vfs-cache-mode=full really important as things seem to still slow without it (even if s3 minio is on local SSD disk...) Also seems to speed up reading directory which is biggest difference from direct filesystem.
--vfs-fast-fingerprint recommended on rclone document page; given everything local - I can't see a problem/downside
--dir-cache-time 59s In theory, if I am modify things to the s3 minio filestore directly then having this would show changes quicker (in practice, after things working well, I likely only modify from laptop) - I wonder any downside from this if I just keep in long term.
-rc in theory, after I have the rclone mount running as a service then I can use this to control rclone VFS options (in practice, hopefully smooth enough this isn't relevant)
