What is your current rclone version (output from rclone version)?

rclone v1.53.2

What problem are you are trying to solve?

When using a VFS rclone mount, VMs and databases need to be downloaded fully to the cache to be utilized effectively. However, since applications which use VMs and databases request data from random positions, rclone could potentially download data from the remote in a highly nonlinear fashion, wasting API hits and degrading performance.

How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?

I propose the addition of a new flag, --vfs-full-sequential, which would force all accessed files to be downloaded fully and sequentially to the cache directory
