Switching from Plexdrive to Rclone Cache - broken Mount

spicypixel · April 6, 2018, 7:53pm

I had to double check so I tested it by staggering the launch:

Using rclone v1.40-047-g92cfb57fβ

Started rclone FUSE mount.

OK if I add --syslog and --log-level INFO to my systemd (copied from your systemd)

Then where do I find the log file?

Animosity022 · April 6, 2018, 7:59pm

If you use syslog, it’ll go to /var/log/syslog or maybe /var/log/messages depending on your OS.

You can always just use a preferred log file location.

jasanson · April 6, 2018, 8:02pm

Perfect, thanks.

I’ll send them to a new location

Animosity022 · April 6, 2018, 8:03pm

I just use a simple rsyslog config:

[felix@gemini rsyslog.d]$ cat 30-rclone.conf
# Example: Log mail server control messages to mail-queue.log
if $programname == ‘rclone’
then /var/log/rclone.log
& stop

Great. Thanks for that and all the other help.
Cheers

Hey all, I’ve been following this post and the one @Animosity022 posted on converting from plexdrive. So just to confirm, I only need the one mount point then? I’m just used to encrypted and decrypted mounts with plexdrive. I “think” it’s working, but how do I tell? I have logging set to INFO, but don’t see anything related to cache items in the logs. I also don’t see anything in the upload temp FS directory. Any help is appreciated.

What was decided on Chunk size? 5MB, 8, or 10MB?

I did see gcache connect to plex and now the token in populated in my .rclone.conf file.

last I get an error in the log, but it’s still working?

Animosity022 · April 7, 2018, 9:28pm

What’s your actual mount command you are using?

Animosity022 · April 7, 2018, 9:33pm

I’ve noticed no real different in chunk size during playback. I’ve toyed around with 5/10/15/20/25 and going too big seems to make a slower start. There was another post saying 1M was faster for scanning, but I haven’t tried that myself.

I’ve stuck at 5M for now and we’ll see as for me, it made sense to go a little smaller and see if that overall helps with starting.

Let me know if this looks correct.

That looks good!

@Animosity022 appreciate the help. One last question and I believe I’m all configured. I was attempting to move this into systemd for autostart. What value do I utilize for unit portion as it relates to my plex startup script? Is it the name of the actual script?

My startup script for plex is plexmediaserver.service so is the value below correct?

I notice if plex is down and I manually start rclone it doesn’t appear to check this value…Is it only upon reboot?

[Unit]
Description=RClone Service
AssertPathIsDirectory=/home/plex
After=plexmediaserver.target network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
