Status about using Rclone for music storage / playback in 2021. Access times improved?

that is not correct and i understand the confusion.

to be clear, there are two caches.

each cache has:
a. different purpose
b. different data
c. different storage
d. different levels of volatility


  1. dir-cache
    a. to speed the listing of folder/file names from slow cloud based storage.
    b. a list of folder/file names.
    c. stored in memory.
    d. does not survive a reboot.

  2. vfs-cache
    a. to store the contents of files read from slow cloud storage. suffice explanation for now.
    b. the contents of files.
    c. stored in local storage, in your case e:/cache.
    d. does survive a reboot.
