NFSv4 is a hard beast to implement correctly, with a lot of protocol surface (state, compound ops, delegations) for benefits ZeroFS mostly gets through 9P with extensions, over a much simpler protocol: https://www.zerofs.net&#x2F

ZeroFS aims to be a POSIX filesystem, the semantics here are the standard ones (ext4, xfs behave the same): write() is buffered (that's the batching) and "committed" maps to fsync(), which returns only once data is durable.

Thank you for the feedback, the idea behind this was to say "We make claims that are backed by workflows you can verify". I'll improve the phrasing.

Just a self hosted plausible instance :)

Most of the pain here is the typical set of issues people run into trying to make S3 a filesystem as-is, common with S3FS-family approaches. ZeroFS ( https://github.com/Barre/zerofs ) is 9P/NFS/NBD over S3 on a

Even with journaling, you might need one. ZeroFS [0] almost had a lost+found directory (even with the WAL enabled), because you might have consistency issues between your in-memory state and what was flushed, and especially in what order. Z

Or ZeroFS which doesn’t require a 3rd party database, just a s3 bucket! https://github.com/Barre/ZeroFS

SQLite works great with ZeroFS: https://github.com/Barre/ZeroFS

See also: https://github.com/Barre/ZeroFS Doesn’t require an external database (just a s3 bucket) and is a single binary. A webui is shipping in the next few days.
