I've heard that SMB-fs is "better" than FUSE. More cross-platform, can also be implemented in user-space, and less likely to get jammed up/deadlocked by slow network calls inside the kernel.
- pxx 3y agoYou've heard from where? Are there any extant specialty fs that expose an smb interface?
- ramses0 3y agoWhoops: WebDAV: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39417503 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39417503 SeaweedFS supports WebDAV. https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV I'm not able to find if both/restic supports mounting backups as WebDAV, but in theory there's nothing stopping you. It's 100% user space (expose a rest service) and supported by a bunch of file-browsers with a bit of a network aware component to it as well.
- pxx 3y agoI feel like 9p is a better competitor in this space, and I've actually heard of people using it (e.g. the Windows Subsystem for Linux mounts host filesystems this way and so does Crostini, the ChromeOS equivalent).
