Why not rclone? It was discussed here yesterday as a replacement for sshfs - and supports GCS as well as dozens more backends.

Last time gcsfuse was on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35784889), the author of rclone was in the comments:

> From reading the docs, it looks very similar to `rclone mount` with `--vfs-cache-mode off` (the default). The limitations are almost identical.

> However rclone has `--vfs-cache-mode writes` which caches file writes to disk first to allow overwriting in the middle of a file and `--vfs-cache-mode full` to cache all objects on a LRU basis. They both make the file system a whole lot more POSIX compatible and most applications will run using `--vfs-cache-mode writes` unlike `--vfs-cache-mode off`.

Seems rclone would be an even better option than Google's own tool.


Comments like this are why HN comments section is usually better than the news in it.

Also hi capableweb I think your name rings a bell from LLM's/Gen AI threads


Me too!

Hello! That's probably a sign I need to take a break from writing too many HN comments per day, thanks :)


Don't worry man, wasn't implying that, it's just cool to see the same names/non-faces around tbh. simon is likewise heh
