<p>EXPERIMENTAL</p>
<p>For some time there has been work to enable passthrough IO in
FUSE. Passthrough IO would allow for near native performance with
regards to reads and writes (at the expense of certain mergerfs
features.) However, there have been several complications which have
kept the feature from making it into the mainline Linux kernel. Until
that feature is available there are two methods to provide similar
functionality. One method is using the LD_PRELOAD feature of the
dynamic linker. The other leveraging ptrace to intercept
syscalls. Each has their disadvantages. At the moment only a preload
based tool is available. A ptrace based tool may be developed later if
there is a need.</p>
<p><code>/usr/lib/mergerfs/preload.so</code></p>
<p>This <a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ld.so.8.html#ENVIRONMENT">preloadable
library</a>
overrides the creation and opening of files in order to simulate
passthrough file IO. It catches the open/creat/fopen calls, has
mergerfs do the call, queries mergerfs for the branch the file exists
on, reopens the file on the underlying filesystem and returns that
instead. Meaning that you will get native read/write performance
because mergerfs is no longer part of the workflow. Keep in mind that
this also means certain mergerfs features that work by interrupting
the read/write workflow, such as <code>moveonenospc</code>, will no longer work.</p>
<p>Also, understand that this will only work on dynamically linked
software. Anything statically compiled will not work. Many GoLang and
Rust apps are statically compiled.</p>
<p>The library will not interfere with non-mergerfs filesystems. The
library is written to always fallback to returning the mergerfs opened
file on error.</p>
<p>While the library was written to account for a number of edgecases
there could be some yet accounted for so please report any oddities.</p>
<p>Thank you to

<p>Assume <code>/mnt/fs0</code> and <code>/mnt/fs1</code> are pooled with mergerfs at <code>/media</code>.</p>
<p>All mergerfs branch paths <em>must</em> be bind mounted into the container at
the same path as found on the host so the preload library can see them.</p>
