What is the crowd's opinion of WinFsp?

From 3.5 billion comments

install http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/ , you need that for mounting.

open command prompt go to your rclone directory (like c:\rclone). Now you can use rclone commands to start mounting or backup or whatever. Here's my current mount as I think it works faster than my cache-mount-test,

>rclone mount crypt: X: --allow-other --dir-cache-time 48h --vfs-read-chunk-size 10M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 512M --buffer-size 512M --stats 2s -vv

crypt: is my encrypted remote for the google drive.

X: is the drive letter for the mount.

if you want to try with your cache remote, just use rclone mount 'name of your cache-remote' --options --options1 etc.

There should be installation instructions for WinFSP+cygfuse here: http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/download/ But currently it only works for 64-bit Windows. There is work in progress for WinFSP/cygfuse 32-bit support. There is a patch on its way on rar2fs to support also the Dokany alternative. Also the link I added in a previous post contains a lot of information on how to install and use this https://github.com/hasse69/rar2fs/issues/75

I was surprised to find there is a project, WinFsp, that aims to do for Windows what FUSE does for Linux (and seems to have a FUSE compatibility layer). I don't regularly work in Windows so I'd be ill-suited to implement a Windows port, but I'd definitely welcome a pull request adding the functionality.

What about a FUSE implementation that presents the contents of the blueprints-storage.dat file as a directory structure that you can mount inside a git repo?

For windows there is winfsp. cgofuse looks promising for getting something cross-platform, easy to write, and easy to build. This might be doable.

Edit: ok it looks like the .dat file is custom, but Rseding posted a C# project that might be useful for parsing it. Hmm this might be doable.
