    Author here. Thanks for posting this!

    It’s been quite a ride building ZeroFS, and I’m happy to answer any questions.

      Thanks for building this, I am just about to give it ago with my self-hosted Garage cluster.

      Does running `stat` against a file require pulling the whole file from s3, or can that be handled by the metadata?

      Do you know what backup performance is like for something like borg/borgmatic or restic, especially on follow up runs where most files are just checked.

      Is there any particular Redis/Valkey config you recommend when using it for `conditional_put`, or just default config?

      Is there any chance for NFSv4 support?

    Also would love to know how was we could iterate over the files. ie a bit how duckdb allows for paruet fikes scanning and reading would be nice to see how fast we can query the fs for ai/ml training workloads

    I really want this, but it feels a little scary to trust all my files. I wouls like it if there was some contineous suite trying to corrupt the files and then see the failure cases!

    The article diagrams can’t be seen well if the device has the dark mode as default, just a suggestion for the author.

      I only saw one diagram but it is perfectly visible for me on the desktop.
