Before this change rclone would set the volume name from the
remote:path normally. However this has `:` and `/` in which make it
difficult to use in macOS.
Now rclone will remove the special characters and replace them with
spaces. It also allows the volume name to be set with the --volname
flag.
This flag allows the attribute caching in the kernel to be controlled.
The default is 0s - no caching - which is recommended for filesystems
which can change outside the control of the kernel.
Previously this was at the default meaning it was 60s for mount and 1s
for cmount. This showed strange effects when files changed on the
remote not via the kernel. For instance Caddy would serve corrupted
files for a while when serving from an rclone mount when a file
changed on the remote.
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
