fuse.cachefs v0.1.3

Fuse.CacheFS

A simple cachefs written in node using the fuse-bindings Libray.

You specify a source directory and then all content in the cached directory will attempt to mirror and cache from the source.

Main goal is make mounting of cloud drives via rclone or acd_cli a little bit faster by being able to cache contents on local drives for faster access and scans.

This project is still in its infancy and pretty alpha. It is not recommended for production use. Currently only supports a tiny subset of fuse commands and has yet to go any thorough testing.

Early local benchmark's show it does what it's designed to do so that's always promising.

Thanks to the work by:

• Mathias Buus with fuse-bindings to really get this project going without which it wouldn't exist.
