libfuse3 + writeback_cache

[tcf909]

Any secret to getting libfuse3 working for acd_cli? I'd like to take advantage of the writeback_cache option for use with encfs (get away from the 4k write torture). Thoughts? Suggestions?

I also opened up a ticket with encfs asking the same thing. It would be ideal if the writeback cache could happen at that layer, but acd_cli seems much more active -- so I'm more hopeful with this issue :)

Have a look at #374 if you're after write back caching, we did it ourselves.

Also, due to the security problems in encfs, I'd highly recommend having a look at gocryptfs if that's your use case.

Upgrading libfuse from 2 -> 3 is a little beyond this project, as that goes more to the maintainers of the flavor of linux you're using. For instance, on Ubuntu Xenial:

$ aptitude show fuse

Description: Filesystem in Userspace
 Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to
 create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

So you'd need to petition upstream for that release.
