When using rclone mount for Android with the .bindsd feature enabled (see issue #5) some apps and file managers may cause rclone to consume excessive amounts of CPU & RAM.

When examining debug logs I have noticed an abnormal amount of Lookup in the entries, possibly due to media scans that do not respect the .nomedia file. If your remote contains a complex directory structure and large amount of files this issue will become apparent rather quickly.

Currently there is no known fix besides disabling the feature or discontinuing use of the app(s) that aggravate the problem. Luckily rclone only seems to be effected by a small handful of apps utilizing storage permissions.

Known Problem Apps

When I find other apps that cause problems I will update this list.

• ES File Explorer

  Seems as though ES File Explorer's new files feature is causing this problem, unfortunately there is no way to disable it.

• Substratum Theme Engine
