  • A meaningful comparison of clients should incude full understanding of associated servers
  • Not all FTP servers are equal

  • MacFusion does connect to FTP servers, but MacFusion is not directly comparable to FTP clients

      Macfusion does connect to SFTP servers, using SSFHS (not to be confused with SFTP), but Macfusion is not directly comparable to SFTP clients. And so on…

Finder performance 2008 Filesystem in Userspace

Graham Perrin liked it
  • I mounted a MacFUSE volume but I don't see a volume icon on the Desktop
  • I mounted a MacFUSE volume but I don't see a volume icon in the Finder's sidebar
  • sshfs isn't meant to replace things such as NFS, AFP, and SMB
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • a substitute when you don't have any remote file sharing access to a computer, but you do have sftp access

      A rich experience, with which users of Apple Finder and Mac OS X are accustomed, can not be guaranteed within the limitations of a protocol such as FTP.

      Hint: Finder does very much more than simply transfer files. Much of the Finder experience, which users (naturally) take for granted, is thanks to extensive use of extended attributes and metadata.

      Users of FTP, SFTP and SHH services: please, pay attention! The best marriage of Apple Finder and Mac OS X to a remote file system is: Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).
  • MacFUSE allows access to a volume only to the user who mounted the volume. All other users, including the superuser is denied access
  • nontrivial user-space file systems can still be complex, and their performance/behavior can depend upon numerous factors besides MacFUSE itself
  • When in doubt, feel free to post your questions on the macfuse group
  • MacFUSE itself isn't a distributed remote file system

  • very picky that your file system is returning the proper errors

      Finder expects errors that are proper.
  • accesses to files in a directory when there was no contentsOfDirectoryAtPath: ca
  • contentsOfDirectoryAtPath: will be called frequently

  • think beyond the Finder
  • Finder, other applications, and even parts of the OS that would would not expect may be requesting directory contents or file attributes on your file system at any time. They will even do this for files and directories that don't exist
  • Working well with the Finder is not an easy task
  • behaving as much like a "standard" file system as possible

stack MacFUSE

shared by Graham Perrin on 14 Nov 08 - Cached
  • I think it _can_ be solved   at the MacFUSE level using a transparent "stacking" FUSE filesystem   that will cache appledobule files _locally_
  • It would be a very significant contribution to the Mac and FUSE   communities if such a thing were built, as then all network FUSE   filesystems like S3, FTP and SSH would see functionality and   performance gains
