Suggest to me better mount in WebDav

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I mounted a nas in wan, so over internet, and WebDav is the best protocol, because I tried Samba, but with high latency ( i mean 15ms between me and nas), the speed is too much slow, with webdav it's fast.

My connection is DW: 10gbit / UP: 3 gbit
Nas is: 1gbit / 1gbit

My question is:

1 - Can I disable pacer sleep to have the best performance , without any limits?
2 - My mount command it's ok to avoid any buffering ? I prefer to make some cache only in ram, for a better performance, but i saw docs to make this, and i hope that is the best mount command that I can do.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.68.2

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

WebDav

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone mount NAS_WEBDAV:/ /mnt/NAS --config=/root/rclone_nas/rclone_nas.conf --cache-dir=/home/rclone/cache --allow-other --vfs-cache-max-age 48h --vfs-cache-max-size=8G --vfs-cache-mode=full --vfs-read-chunk-size=256M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit=512M --read-only --buffer-size 256M

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[NAS_WEBDAV]
type = webdav
url = http://myurl:5000
vendor = other
user = Rob
pass = hia
pacer_min_sleep = 0ms

Maybe:) over the network you will always have buffering involved. Only with data in cache (so local) it is truly minimal. So all depends on your specific use case. Do you have any issues with your mount? If so please explain in more details what do you use your mount for and somebody might have some optimisation tips.

When I scan the library is fast, but every time, still some seconds to scan a movie, then scan again, seems there there is some pacer limit, so for this reason i asked this. ( I mean that scan for example in 1 seconds, 10movies, and 11movies stuck for some seconds, then scan fast again )

About buffering, for now, seems that i didn't have buffering, but I must to try better, because I tried some 4K with 80Mbps, so very very hard, and works without problems, but maybe to stay safe, also in the dinner, when the traffic is more, is better to change the mount command, and make more tricks for the cache ?

So, these are my questions. Thanks for reading

A log file would give superb insight on what's going on that you can align the timestamps of your challenges with.
