Mounting Backblaze B2: s3fs / rclone / GeeseFS / goofys? - eviltoast

I want to mount some B2 buckets on Linux for read/write access. What do people recommend?

s3fs, rclone or GeeseFS seem to be the sensible choices, but please share your hard-won opinions with me.

edit: or goofys?

    I’ve had better experiences with rclone mount vs s3fs, but the experience isn’t great. It’s not a posix filesystem so stuff like file locking won’t work. Which makes it dangerous to run databases (incl SQLite) on top of.

    Rclone has options to enable a local cache as well. It helps with performance, but I haven’t tested the performance too much yet.
