Nice work!. I also made a similar file system Zbox: https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox. The difference is Zbox is a in-app file system focused on privacy, so FUSE is not supported intentionally. Although it already supports key-value store now, I am currently trying to extend its capability to cloud storage.

Zbox looks pretty interesting, thanks for linking it!

Have you done any performance testing to compare zbox vs xfs/ext4/zfs/whatever on the same system? I saw the benchmark in the readme, but that doesn't necessarily show how much overhead or loss of performance there is over the native filesystem.

No, I didn't. And I don't think it is necessary as Zbox is much more like an 'application-level' fs, obviously can't match the system level fs.
