Yes, I think it’s worth benchmarking.

zerofs mount has durable fsync and fcntl byte-range locking.

Inotify works for changes made through the local mount. It won’t report changes made through another client, though.

Small writes operate on 32 KiB extents. Partial overwrites are read-modify-write, but the FUSE writeback cache helps combine them, and the resulting extents are packed into segments rather than producing one S3 PUT per write.

I’d be interested in the results if you try it.

Thanks for the extra info, i will definitely come back to you when i have some results. It won't probably be until the end of the summer though, before i find the chance to put back online a test server.
