How should I modify this config for Chia cloud farming? With the above settings it consumes all my storage

Hi dawnslayer,

I cannot answer your question, but this Backblaze article may be of interest:

Why some of those flags? Does chia need to seek into the file? The no-seek flag may be hurting you

Thanks, what else should I remove

I don't really know Chia (other than a baseline dislike because of the havoc it has caused on the storage market, but I digress).

However, I am of the belief that the best way to approach anything with rclone is to start with the absolute simplest command and only then do you add more as needed. And as I add flags, I document why I added them. Can you tell me why you have each and every flag? Many of them aren't even for your backend! (including the confusingly named cache flags that are for the cache backend which you aren't using. Or if you are, you shouldn't be).
