What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Looks like i am having a hard time understanding how the dir-cache actually works, especially in combination with a union remote.
My unions have two upstreams, a local directory and a directory on a GD remote.
There is a union for each media type like tv-shows, movies, music, etc.
When an episode for a tv show is being grabbed, it will be placed into the local upstream for the tv show union and immediately appears when listing files at the tv shows union mount point.
At a given time, all local contents is moved over to the remote upstream and a vfs/forget command is being sent to the rc instance mounting the tv shows union. this method works perfectly.
Although everything is exactly configured the same way for my audiobooks, the behaviour is different. When a new audiobook is added to the local upstream of the audiobooks union, it doesn't immediately show up when listing the files at the audiobooks union mount point. The newly added content will only be available after sending a vfs/forget command to the rc instance mounting the audiobooks union.
As i said, union configuration and mount commands are similar for both media types and i don't understand why they show different behaviour.
