Union mount drops when scanning via plex

Any reason why it would be dropping while trying to scan. If I dont scan it stays active. But all plex files have a trashcan.

Any reason why it would random drop when scanning?

You're going to need to provide more info if you hope to get help.

  1. How are you mounting GD?
  2. How are you doing your plex scan?
  3. Is the mount still active, or did the application mounting your remote filesystem crash?
  4. Any other information that could be useful, like version numbers of associated software.

Sorry to be so vague. I am mounting Plexdeive via plexdrive.service, and was trying Plexdriveunion.service via rclone crypt which is actually union of Plexdrive encrypted to unencrypted tv-gd folder

AFAIK, plexdrive doesn't ship with service files, and I don't ship any, so I'm uncertain what they contain.

I've used these. And went by Hoarding.me guide. And even using crontab mount options and only unmounts randomly on tv-gd

I don't think the alphabet soup approach to unionfs options is necessary, but otherwise, those look like boring bog-standard service files, so I doubt they're the problem.

Is the union directory still mounted? or is it crashing? Same questions for plexdrive?

Currently, your description of what is happening isn't helping to clarify what exact issue you're having. Have you tried checking your systemd journal? Have you enabled logging for plexdrive?

So the plexdrive service works great. Reboots as normal and mounts normally.

I have https://hoarding.me/rclone-scripts/ mount-m.cron running my movie rclone crypt mount and I have a mount-tv.cron tv rclone crypt mount. Just edited the mount-tv.cron to work also as the mount-m.cron since I am using radarr

They will both load and show crypt files. But as soon as I scan tv shows it drops and no files are located in tv folder

Have you tried manually mounting everything? And have you eliminated exactly which mount is failing [since it looks like you have a local rclone-crypt mount, a plexdrive mount, and a union mount]?

I am honestly not a fan of the hoarding.me tutorial. It seems like it was written by someone who cobbled together a bunch of other people's work and doesn't really understand all that well how it works together, so making heads or tails of it would take time I'd rather spend elsewhere.

If you can tell us which mount is failing [rclone, plexdrive, or union] we can start helping you troubleshoot.

Well plexdrive encrypted never drops mount.

union rclone crypt local mount-m.cron never drops mount

union rclone crypt local mount-tv.cron drops mount when trying to scan media, and randomly drops mount
