Prefetch in FUSE fs

[Njcki]

Hi, I wondered if you can add a sort of prefetching feature. I mean if a program asks for a file starting from xxx byte then acd_cli may automatically pre-download (and store locally) from xxx to xxx+50MB, and so on...

What do you think?

Thanks

I am curious if changing the FUSE option for readahead would help you here

Well, I've gone down a rabbit hole! I found this directory while searching around: https://tahoe-lafs.org/~warner/tahoe-reliability/contrib/fuse/impl_b/pyfuse/ -- Looks to be under the GPLv2 as well.. mirrorfs.py is almost what we are looking for, there are other bindings in there as well that was VERY interesting. maybe Ill make a mod and see how it rolls

Oh and this is a thing: https://github.com/cconstantine/CacheFS

I'm 50/50 if it has any kind of expire and it needs disk checking badly to make sure it doesn't overload a disk,

Or I dunno, use the proper old school tool that does everything: http://linux.die.net/man/8/cachefilesd

(Found in most repos, very easy to use and has been working well for me in the last 24 hours

Cachefiled looks interesting, but I'm trying to figure out how to make ACDCLI use it. I mount ACDCLI via a screen command (to keep it in the FG) so not sure how to call it from the command line. Any Suggestions?

I did a loopback NFS but I noticed that it was having issues with talking FUSE, so I scraped the idea

[zenjabba]

understood. scratch that idea then ;)
