+# Benchmarking
+
+Filesystems are complicated. They do many things and many of those are
+interconnected. Additionally, the OS, drivers, hardware, etc. can all
+impact performance. Therefore, when benchmarking, it is **necessary**
+that the test focuses as narrowly as possible.
+
+For most throughput is the key benchmark. To test throughput `dd` is
+useful but **must** be used with the correct settings in order to
+ensure the filesystem or device is actually being tested. The OS can
+and will cache data. Without forcing synchronous reads and writes
+and/or disabling caching the values returned will not be
+representative of the device's true performance.
+
+When benchmarking through mergerfs ensure you only use 1 branch to
+remove any possibility of the policies complicating the
+situation. Benchmark the underlying filesystem first and then mount
+mergerfs over it and test again. If you're experiencing speeds below
+your expectation you will need to narrow down precisely which
+component is leading to the slowdown. Preferably test the following in
+the order listed (but not combined).
+
+1. Enable `nullrw` mode with `nullrw=true`. This will effectively make
+   reads and writes no-ops. Removing the underlying device /
+   filesystem from the equation. This will give us the top theoretical
+   speeds.
+2. Mount mergerfs over `tmpfs`. `tmpfs` is a RAM disk. Extremely high
+   speed and very low latency. This is a more realistic best case
+   scenario. Example: `mount -t tmpfs -o size=2G tmpfs /tmp/tmpfs`
+3. Mount mergerfs over a local device. NVMe, SSD, HDD, etc. If you
+   have more than one I'd suggest testing each of them as drives
+   and/or controllers (their drivers) could impact performance.
+4. Finally, if you intend to use mergerfs with a network filesystem,
+   either as the source of data or to combine with another through
+   mergerfs, test each of those alone as above.
+
+Once you find the component which has the performance issue you can do
+further testing with different options to see if they impact
+performance. For reads and writes the most relevant would be:
+`cache.files`, `async_read`. Less likely but relevant when using NFS
+or with certain filesystems would be `security_capability`, `xattr`,
+and `posix_acl`. If you find a specific system, device, filesystem,
+controller, etc. that performs poorly contact trapexit so he may
+investigate further.
+
+Sometimes the problem is really the application accessing or writing
+data through mergerfs. Some software use small buffer sizes which can
+lead to more requests and therefore greater overhead. You can test
+this out yourself by replacing `bs=1M` in the examples below with `ibs`
+or `obs` and using a size of `512` instead of `1M`. In one example
+test using `nullrw` the write speed dropped from 4.9GB/s to 69.7MB/s
+when moving from `1M` to `512`. Similar results were had when testing
+reads. Small writes overhead may be improved by leveraging a write
+cache but in casual tests little gain was found. More tests will need
+to be done before this feature would become available. If you have an
+app that appears slow with mergerfs it could be due to this. Contact
+trapexit so he may investigate further.

+# branches
+
+The 'branches' argument is a colon (':') delimited list of paths to be
+pooled together. It does not matter if the paths are on the same or
+different filesystems nor does it matter the filesystem type (within
+reason). Used and available space will not be duplicated for paths on
+the same filesystem and any features which aren't supported by the
+underlying filesystem (such as file attributes or extended attributes)
+will return the appropriate errors.
+
+Branches currently have two options which can be set. A type which
+impacts whether or not the branch is included in a policy calculation
+and a individual minfreespace value. The values are set by prepending
+an `=` at the end of a branch designation and using commas as
+delimiters. Example: `/mnt/drive=RW,1234`
+
+### branch mode
+
+- RW: (read/write) - Default behavior. Will be eligible in all policy
+  categories.
+- RO: (read-only) - Will be excluded from `create` and `action`
+  policies. Same as a read-only mounted filesystem would be (though
+  faster to process).
+- NC: (no-create) - Will be excluded from `create` policies. You can't
+  create on that branch but you can change or delete.
+
+### minfreespace
+
+Same purpose and syntax as the global option but specific to the
+branch. If not set the global value is used.
+
+### globbing
+
+To make it easier to include multiple branches mergerfs supports
+[globbing](http://linux.die.net/man/7/glob). **The globbing tokens
+MUST be escaped when using via the shell else the shell itself will
+apply the glob itself.**
+
+```
+# mergerfs /mnt/hdd\*:/mnt/ssd /media
+```
+
+The above line will use all mount points in /mnt prefixed with **hdd**
+and **ssd**.
+
+To have the pool mounted at boot or otherwise accessible from related
+tools use `/etc/fstab`.
+
+```
+# <file system>        <mount point>  <type>    <options>             <dump>  <pass>
+/mnt/hdd*:/mnt/ssd    /media          mergerfs  minfreespace=16G      0       0
+```
+
+**NOTE:** The globbing is done at mount or when updated using the runtime API. If a new directory is added matching the glob after the fact it will not be automatically included.

+# caching
+
+## cache.files
+
+Controls how [page caching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_cache)
+works for mergerfs itself. Not the underlying filesystems.
+
+* `cache.files=off`: Disables page caching for mergerfs.
+* `cache.files=partial`: Enables page caching. Files are cached
+  while open.
+* `cache.files=full`: Enables page caching. Files are cached across
+  opens.
+* `cache.files=auto-full`: Enables page caching. Files are cached
+  across opens if mtime and size are unchanged since previous open.
+* `cache.files=per-process`: Enable page caching (equivalent to
+  `cache.files=partial`) only for processes whose 'comm' name matches
+  one of the values defined in cache.files.process-names. If the name
+  does not match the file open is equivalent to `cache.files=off`.
+
+
+Generally, enabling the page cache actually *harms*
+performance[^1]. In part because it can lead to buffer bloat due to
+the kernel caching both the underlying filesystem's file content as
+well as the file through mergerfs. However, if you want to confirm
+performance differences it is recommended that you perform some
+benchmark to confirm which option works best for your setup.
+
+Why then would you want to enable page caching if it consumes ~2x the
+RAM as normal and is on average slower? Because it is the only way to
+support
+[mmap](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mmap.2.html). `mmap` is a
+way for programs to treat a file as if it is a contiguous RAM buffer
+which is regularly used by a number of programs such as those that
+leverage **sqlite3**. Despite `mmap` not being supported by all
+filesystems it is unfortunately common for software to not have an
+option to use regular file IO instead of `mmap`.
+
+The good thing is that in Linux v6.6[^2] and above FUSE can now
+transparently enable page caching when mmap is requested. This means
+it should be safe to set `cache.files=off`. However, on Linux v6.5 and
+below you will need to configure `cache.files` as you need.
+
+
+[^1]: This is not unique to mergerfs and affects all FUSE
+    filesystems. It is something that the FUSE community hopes to
+    investigate at some point but as of early 2025 there are a number
+    of major reworking going on with FUSE which needs to be finished
+    first.
+[^2]: [https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.6#FUSE](https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.6#FUSE)
+
+
+## cache.entry
+
+* `cache.entry=UINT`: Sets the number of seconds to cache
+  entry queries. Defaults to `1`.
+
+The kernel must ask mergerfs about the existence of files. The entry
+cache caches that those details which limits the number of requests
+sent to mergerfs.
+
+The risk of setting this value, as with most any cache, is related to
+[out-of-band](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-band) changes. If
+the filesystems are changed outside mergerfs there is a risk of files
+which have been removed continuing to show as available. It will fail
+gracefully if a phantom file is actioned on in some way so there is
+little risk in setting the value much higher. Especially if there are
+no out-of-band changes.
+
+
+## cache.negative_entry
+
+* `cache.negative_entry=UINT`: Sets the number of seconds to cache
+  negative entry queries. Defaults to `1`.
+  
+This is a cache for negative entry query responses. Such as when a
+file which does not exist is referenced.
+
+The risk of setting this value, as with most any cache, is related to
+[out-of-band](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-band) changes. If
+the filesystems are changed outside mergerfs there is a risk of files
+which have been added outside mergerfs not appearing correctly till
+the cache entry times out if there had been a request for the same
+name within mergerfs which didn't exist. This is mostly an
+inconvenience.
+
+
+## cache.attr
+
+* `cache.attr=UINT`: Sets the number of seconds to cache file
+  attributes. Defaults to `1`.
+  
+This is a cache for file attributes and metadata such as that which is
+collected by the
+[stat](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/stat.2.html) system call
+which is used when you run commands such as `find` or `ls -lh`. 
+
+As with other caches the risk of enabling the attribute cache is if
+changes are made to the file out-of-band there could be
+inconsistencies between the actual file and the cached details which
+could result in different issues depending on how the data is used. If
+the simultaneous writing of a file from inside and outside is unlikely
+then you should be safe. That said any simultaneous, uncoordinated
+manipulation of a file can lead to unexpected results.
+
+
+## cache.statfs
+
+* `cache.statfs=UINT`: Sets the number of seconds to cache `statfs`
+  calls used by policies. Defaults to `0`.
+  
+A number of policies require looking up the available space of the
+branches being considered. This is accomplished by calling
+[statfs](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statfs.2.html). This
+call however is a bit expensive so this cache reduces the overhead by
+limiting how often the calls are actually made.
+
+This will mean that if the available space of branches changed
+somewhat rapidly there is a risk of `create` or `mkdir` calls made
+within the timeout period ending up on the same branch. This however
+should even itself out over time.
+
+
+## cache.symlinks
+
+* `cache.symlinks=BOOL`: Enable kernel caching of symlink
+  values. Defaults to `false`.
+  
+As of Linux v4.20 there is an ability to cache the value of symlinks
+so that the kernel does not need to make a request to mergerfs every
+single time a
+[readlink](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/readlink.2.html)
+request is made. While not a common usage pattern, if software very
+regularly queries symlink values, the use of this cache could
+significantly improve performance.
+
+mergerfs will not error if the kernel used does not support symlink
+caching.
+
+As with other caches the main risk in enabling it is if you are
+manipulating symlinks from both within and without the mergerfs
+mount. Should the value be changed outside of mergerfs then it will
+not be reflected in the mergerfs mount till the cached value is
+invalidated.
+
+
+## cache.readdir
+
+* `cache.readdir=BOOL`: Enable kernel caching of readdir
+  results. Defaults to `false`.
+  
+As of Linux v4.20 it supports readdir caching. This can have a
+significant impact on directory traversal. Especially when combined
+with entry (`cache.entry`) and attribute (`cache.attr`) caching. If
+the kernel doesn't support readdir caching setting the option to true
+has no effect. This option is configurable at runtime via xattr
+user.mergerfs.cache.readdir.
+
+## cache.writeback
+
+* `cache.writeback=BOOL`: Enable writeback cache. Defaults to `false`.
+
+When `cache.files` is enabled the default is for it to perform
+writethrough caching. This behavior won't help improve performance as
+each write still goes one for one through the filesystem. By enabling
+the FUSE writeback cache small writes *may* be aggregated by the
+kernel and then sent to mergerfs as one larger request. This can
+greatly improve the throughput for apps which write to files
+inefficiently. The amount the kernel can aggregate is limited by the
+size of a FUSE message. Read the fuse_msg_size section for more
+details.
+
+There is a side effect as a result of enabling writeback
+caching. Underlying files won't ever be opened with O_APPEND or
+O_WRONLY. The former because the kernel then manages append mode and
+the latter because the kernel may request file data from mergerfs to
+populate the write cache. The O_APPEND change means that if a file is
+changed outside of mergerfs it could lead to corruption as the kernel
+won't know the end of the file has changed. That said any time you use
+caching you should keep from writing to the same file outside of
+mergerfs at the same time.
+
+Note that if an application is properly sizing writes then writeback
+caching will have little or no effect. It will only help with writes
+of sizes below the FUSE message size (128K on older kernels, 1M on
+newer). Even then its effectiveness might not be great. Given the side
+effects of enabling this feature it is recommended that its benefits
+be proved out with benchmarks.

+| Policy | Description |
+| ------ | ----------- |
+| seq    | "sequential" : Iterate sequentially over branches in the order defined in `branches`. This is the default and traditional behavior found prior to the readdir policy introduction. This will be increasingly slower as more branches are added to the pool. Especially if needing to wait for drives to spin up or network filesystems to respond. |

This keeps memory and CPU usage low while also reducing the time spent waiting on branches to respond. Number of threads defaults to the number of logical cores. Can be overwritten via the syntax `func.readdir=cosr:N` where `N` is the number of threads. |
+| cor    | "concurrent open and read" : Concurrently open branch directories and immediately start reading their contents using a thread pool. This will result in slightly higher memory and CPU usage but reduced latency. Particularly when using higher latency / slower speed network filesystem branches. Unlike `seq` and `cosr` the order of files could change due the async nature of the thread pool. This should not be a problem since the order of files listed in not guaranteed. Number of threads defaults to the number of logical cores. Can be overwritten via the syntax `func.readdir=cor:N` where `N` is the number of threads. |
+
+Keep in mind that `readdir` mostly just provides a list of file names
+in a directory and possibly some basic metadata about said files. To
+know details about the files, as one would see from commands like
+`find` or `ls`, it is required to call `stat` on the file which is
+controlled by `fuse.getattr`.

+# functions, categories and policies
+
+The POSIX filesystem API is made up of a number of
+functions. **creat**, **stat**, **chown**, etc. For ease of
+configuration in mergerfs, most of the core functions are grouped into
+3 categories: **action**, **create**, and **search**. These functions
+and categories can be assigned a policy which dictates which branch is
+chosen when performing that function.
+
+Some functions, listed in the category `N/A` below, can not be
+assigned the normal policies because they are directly related to a
+file which has already been opened.
+
+When using policies which are based on a branch's available space the
+base path provided is used. Not the full path to the file in
+question. Meaning that mounts in the branch won't be considered in the
+space calculations. The reason is that it doesn't really work for
+non-path preserving policies and can lead to non-obvious behaviors.
+
+NOTE: While any policy can be assigned to a function or category,
+some may not be very useful in practice. For instance: **rand**
+(random) may be useful for file creation (create) but could lead to
+very odd behavior if used for `chmod` if there were more than one copy
+of the file.
+
+## Functions and their Category classifications
+
+| Category | Functions |
+| -------- | --------- |
+| action   | chmod, chown, link, removexattr, rename, rmdir, setxattr, truncate, unlink, utimens |
+| create   | create, mkdir, mknod, symlink |
+| search   | access, getattr, getxattr, ioctl (directories), listxattr, open, readlink |
+| N/A      | fchmod, fchown, futimens, ftruncate, fallocate, fgetattr, fsync, ioctl (files), read, readdir, release, statfs, write, copy_file_range |
+
+In cases where something may be searched for (such as a path to clone)
+**getattr** will usually be used.
+
+## Policies
+
+A policy is the algorithm used to choose a branch or branches for a
+function to work on or generally how the function behaves.
+
+Any function in the `create` category will clone the relative path if
+needed. Some other functions (`rename`,`link`,`ioctl`) have special
+requirements or behaviors which you can read more about below.
+
+## Filtering
+
+Most policies basically search branches and create a list of files / paths
+for functions to work on. The policy is responsible for filtering and
+sorting the branches. Filters include **minfreespace**, whether or not
+a branch is mounted read-only, and the branch tagging
+(RO,NC,RW). These filters are applied across most policies.
+
+- No **search** function policies filter.
+- All **action** function policies filter out branches which are
+  mounted **read-only** or tagged as **RO (read-only)**.
+- All **create** function policies filter out branches which are
+  mounted **read-only**, tagged **RO (read-only)** or **NC (no
+  create)**, or has available space less than `minfreespace`.
+
+Policies may have their own additional filtering such as those that
+require existing paths to be present.
+
+If all branches are filtered an error will be returned. Typically
+**EROFS** (read-only filesystem) or **ENOSPC** (no space left on
+device) depending on the most recent reason for filtering a
+branch. **ENOENT** will be returned if no eligible branch is found.
+
+If **create**, **mkdir**, **mknod**, or **symlink** fail with `EROFS`
+or other fundamental errors then mergerfs will mark any branch found
+to be read-only as such (IE will set the mode `RO`) and will rerun the
+policy and try again. This is mostly for `ext4` filesystems that can
+suddenly become read-only when it encounters an error.
+
+## Path Preservation
+
+Policies, as described below, are of two basic classifications. `path
+preserving` and `non-path preserving`.
+
+All policies which start with `ep` (**epff**, **eplfs**, **eplus**,
+**epmfs**, **eprand**) are `path preserving`. `ep` stands for
+`existing path`.
+
+A path preserving policy will only consider branches where the relative
+path being accessed already exists.
+
+When using non-path preserving policies paths will be cloned to target
+branches as necessary.
+
+With the `msp` or `most shared path` policies they are defined as
+`path preserving` for the purpose of controlling `link` and `rename`'s
+behaviors since `ignorepponrename` is available to disable that
+behavior.
+
+## Policy descriptions
+
+A policy's behavior differs, as mentioned above, based on the function
+it is used with. Sometimes it really might not make sense to even
+offer certain policies because they are literally the same as others
+but it makes things a bit more uniform.
+
+| Policy                                                          | Description                                                                                                                                                                     |

+FUSE applications communicate with the kernel over a special character
+device: `/dev/fuse`. A large portion of the overhead associated with
+FUSE is the cost of going back and forth between user space and kernel
+space over that device. Generally speaking, the fewer trips needed the
+better the performance will be. Reducing the number of trips can be
+done a number of ways. Kernel level caching and increasing message
+sizes being two significant ones. When it comes to reads and writes if
+the message size is doubled the number of trips are approximately
+halved.
+
+In Linux v4.20 a new feature was added allowing the negotiation of the
+max message size. Since the size is in multiples of
+[pages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_(computer_memory)) the
+feature is called `max_pages`. There is a maximum `max_pages` value of
+256 (1MiB) and minimum of 1 (4KiB). The default used by Linux >=4.20,
+and hardcoded value used before 4.20, is 32 (128KiB). In mergerfs it's
+referred to as fuse_msg_size to make it clear what it impacts and
+provide some abstraction.
+
+Since there should be no downsides to increasing `fuse_msg_size`,
+outside a minor increase in RAM usage due to larger message buffers,
+mergerfs defaults the value to 256. On kernels before v4.20 the value
+has no effect. The reason the value is configurable is to enable

+# inodecalc
+
+Inodes (`st_ino`) are unique identifiers within a filesystem. Each
+mounted filesystem has device ID (st_dev) as well and together they
+can uniquely identify a file on the whole of the system. Entries on
+the same device with the same inode are in fact references to the same
+underlying file. It is a many to one relationship between names and an
+inode. Directories, however, do not have multiple links on most
+systems due to the complexity they add.
+
+FUSE allows the server (mergerfs) to set inode values but not device
+IDs. Creating an inode value is somewhat complex in mergerfs' case as
+files aren't really in its control. If a policy changes what directory
+or file is to be selected or something changes out of band it becomes
+unclear what value should be used. Most software does not to care what
+the values are but those that do often break if a value changes
+unexpectedly. The tool find will abort a directory walk if it sees a
+directory inode change. NFS can return stale handle errors if the
+inode changes out of band. File dedup tools will usually leverage
+device ids and inodes as a shortcut in searching for duplicate files
+and would resort to full file comparisons should it find different
+inode values.
+
+mergerfs offers multiple ways to calculate the inode in hopes of
+covering different usecases.
+
+* `passthrough`: Passes through the underlying inode value. Mostly
+  intended for testing as using this does not address any of the
+  problems mentioned above and could confuse file deduplication
+  software as inodes from different filesystems can be the same.
+* `path-hash`: Hashes the relative path of the entry in question. The
+  underlying file's values are completely ignored. This means the
+  inode value will always be the same for that file path. This is
+  useful when using NFS and you make changes out of band such as copy
+  data between branches. This also means that entries that do point to
+  the same file will not be recognizable via inodes. That does not
+  mean hard links don't work. They will.
+* `path-hash32`: 32bit version of path-hash.
+* `devino-hash`: Hashes the device id and inode of the underlying
+  entry. This won't prevent issues with NFS should the policy pick a
+  different file or files move out of band but will present the same
+  inode for underlying files that do too.
+* `devino-hash32`: 32bit version of devino-hash.
+* `hybrid-hash`: Performs path-hash on directories and devino-hash on
+  other file types. Since directories can't have hard links the static
+  value won't make a difference and the files will get values useful
+  for finding duplicates. Probably the best to use if not using
+  NFS. As such it is the default.
+* `hybrid-hash32`: 32bit version of hybrid-hash.
+
+32bit versions are provided as there is some software which does not
+handle 64bit inodes well.
+
+While there is a risk of hash collision in tests of a couple of
+million entries there were zero collisions. Unlike a typical
+filesystem FUSE filesystems can reuse inodes and not refer to the same
+entry. The internal identifier used to reference a file in FUSE is
+different from the inode value presented. The former is the nodeid and
+is actually a tuple of 2 64bit values: nodeid and generation. This
+tuple is not client facing. The inode that is presented to the client
+is passed through the kernel uninterpreted.
+
+From FUSE docs for `use_ino`:
+
+> Honor the st_ino field in the functions getattr() and
+> fill_dir(). This value is used to fill in the st_ino field
+> in the stat(2), lstat(2), fstat(2) functions and the d_ino
+> field in the readdir(2) function. The filesystem does not
+> have to guarantee uniqueness, however some applications
+> rely on this value being unique for the whole filesystem.
+> Note that this does *not* affect the inode that libfuse

+- **config**: Path to a config file. Same arguments as below in
+  key=val / ini style format.
+- **branches**: Colon delimited list of branches.
+- **minfreespace=SIZE**: The minimum space value used for creation
+  policies. Can be overridden by branch specific option. Understands
+  'K', 'M', and 'G' to represent kilobyte, megabyte, and gigabyte
+  respectively. (default: 4G)
+- **moveonenospc=BOOL|POLICY**: When enabled if a **write** fails with
+  **ENOSPC** (no space left on device) or **EDQUOT** (disk quota
+  exceeded) the policy selected will run to find a new location for
+  the file. An attempt to move the file to that branch will occur
+  (keeping all metadata possible) and if successful the original is
+  unlinked and the write retried. (default: false, true = mfs)
+- **inodecalc=passthrough|path-hash|devino-hash|hybrid-hash**: Selects
+  the inode calculation algorithm. (default: hybrid-hash)
+- **dropcacheonclose=BOOL**: When a file is requested to be closed
+  call `posix_fadvise` on it first to instruct the kernel that we no
+  longer need the data and it can drop its cache. Recommended when
+  **cache.files=partial|full|auto-full|per-process** to limit double
+  caching. (default: false)
+- **direct-io-allow-mmap=BOOL**: On newer kernels (>= 6.6) it is

+  shared mmap support. mergerfs will enable this feature if available
+  but an option is provided to turn it off for testing and debugging
+  purposes. (default: true)
+- **symlinkify=BOOL**: When enabled and a file is not writable and its
+  mtime or ctime is older than **symlinkify_timeout** files will be

+- **nullrw=BOOL**: Turns reads and writes into no-ops. The request
+  will succeed but do nothing. Useful for benchmarking
+  mergerfs. (default: false)
+- **lazy-umount-mountpoint=BOOL**: mergerfs will attempt to "lazy
+  umount" the mountpoint before mounting itself. Useful when
+  performing live upgrades of mergerfs. (default: false)
+- **ignorepponrename=BOOL**: Ignore path preserving on
+  rename. Typically rename and link act differently depending on the
+  policy of `create` (read below). Enabling this will cause rename and
+  link to always use the non-path preserving behavior. This means
+  files, when renamed or linked, will stay on the same
+  filesystem. (default: false)
+- **export-support=BOOL**: Sets a low-level FUSE feature intended to
+  indicate the filesystem can support being exported via
+  NFS. (default: true)
+- **security_capability=BOOL**: If false return ENOATTR when xattr
+  security.capability is queried. (default: true)
+- **xattr=passthrough|noattr|nosys**: Runtime control of
+  xattrs. Default is to passthrough xattr requests. 'noattr' will
+  short circuit as if nothing exists. 'nosys' will respond with ENOSYS
+  as if xattrs are not supported or disabled. (default: passthrough)
+- **link_cow=BOOL**: When enabled if a regular file is opened which
+  has a link count > 1 it will copy the file to a temporary file and
+  rename over the original. Breaking the link and providing a basic
+  copy-on-write function similar to cow-shell. (default: false)
+- **statfs=base|full**: Controls how statfs works. 'base' means it
+  will always use all branches in statfs calculations. 'full' is in
+  effect path preserving and only includes branches where the path
+  exists. (default: base)
+- **statfs_ignore=none|ro|nc**: 'ro' will cause statfs calculations to
+  ignore available space for branches mounted or tagged as 'read-only'
+  or 'no create'. 'nc' will ignore available space for branches tagged
+  as 'no create'. (default: none)
+- **nfsopenhack=off|git|all**: A workaround for exporting mergerfs
+  over NFS where there are issues with creating files for write while
+  setting the mode to read-only. (default: off)
+- **branches-mount-timeout=UINT**: Number of seconds to wait at
+  startup for branches to be a mount other than the mountpoint's
+  filesystem. (default: 0)

+- **posix_acl=BOOL**: Enable POSIX ACL support (if supported by kernel
+  and underlying filesystem). (default: false)

+- **threads=INT**: Number of threads to use. When used alone
+  (`process-thread-count=-1`) it sets the number of threads reading
+  and processing FUSE messages. When used together it sets the number
+  of threads reading from FUSE. When set to zero it will attempt to
+  discover and use the number of logical cores. If the thread count is
+  set negative it will look up the number of cores then divide by the
+  absolute value. ie. threads=-2 on an 8 core machine will result in 8
+  / 2 = 4 threads. There will always be at least 1 thread. If set to
+  -1 in combination with `process-thread-count` then it will try to
+  pick reasonable values based on CPU thread count. NOTE: higher
+  number of threads increases parallelism but usually decreases
+  throughput. (default: 0)
+- **read-thread-count=INT**: Alias for `threads`.
+- **process-thread-count=INT**: Enables separate thread pool to
+  asynchronously process FUSE requests. In this mode
+  `read-thread-count` refers to the number of threads reading FUSE
+  messages which are dispatched to process threads. -1 means disabled
+  otherwise acts like `read-thread-count`. (default: -1)
+- **process-thread-queue-depth=UINT**: Sets the number of requests any
+  single process thread can have queued up at one time. Meaning the
+  total memory usage of the queues is queue depth multiplied by the

+
+When page caching is disabled (`cache.files=off`), besides the kernel

+occur because there is no page cache available for it to store that
+data. In FUSE this is referred to as "direct IO". Note that "direct

+# rename and link
+
+**NOTE:** If you're receiving errors from software when files are
+moved / renamed / linked then you should consider changing the create
+policy to one which is **not** path preserving, enabling
+`ignorepponrename`, or contacting the author of the offending software
+and requesting that `EXDEV` (cross device / improper link) be properly
+handled.
+
+`rename` and `link` are arguably the most complicated functions to
+create in a union filesystem. `rename` only works within a single
+filesystem or device. If a rename can't be done due to the source and
+destination paths existing on different mount points it will return
+**-1** with **errno = EXDEV** (cross device / improper link). So if a
+`rename`'s source and target are on different filesystems within the
+pool it creates an issue.
+
+Originally mergerfs would return EXDEV whenever a rename was requested
+which was cross directory in any way. This made the code simple and
+was technically compliant with POSIX requirements. However, many
+applications fail to handle EXDEV at all and treat it as a normal
+error or otherwise handle it poorly. Such apps include: gvfsd-fuse
+v1.20.3 and prior, Finder / CIFS/SMB client in Apple OSX 10.9+,
+NZBGet, Samba's recycling bin feature.
+
+As a result a compromise was made in order to get most software to
+work while still obeying mergerfs' policies. Below is the basic logic.
+
+* If using a **create** policy which tries to preserve directory paths (epff,eplfs,eplus,epmfs)
+  * Using the **rename** policy get the list of files to rename
+  * For each file attempt rename:
+    * If failure with ENOENT (no such file or directory) run **create** policy
+    * If create policy returns the same branch as currently evaluating then clone the path
+    * Re-attempt rename
+  * If **any** of the renames succeed the higher level rename is considered a success
+  * If **no** renames succeed the first error encountered will be returned
+  * On success:
+    * Remove the target from all branches with no source file
+    * Remove the source from all branches which failed to rename
+* If using a **create** policy which does **not** try to preserve directory paths
+  * Using the **rename** policy get the list of files to rename
+  * Using the **getattr** policy get the target path
+  * For each file attempt rename:
+    * If the source branch != target branch:
+      * Clone target path from target branch to source branch
+    * Rename
+  * If **any** of the renames succeed the higher level rename is considered a success
+  * If **no** renames succeed the first error encountered will be returned
+  * On success:
+    * Remove the target from all branches with no source file
+    * Remove the source from all branches which failed to rename
+
+The removals are subject to normal entitlement checks. If the unlink
+fails it will fail silently.
+
+The above behavior will help minimize the likelihood of EXDEV being
+returned but it will still be possible.
+
+**link** uses the same strategy but without the removals.

+# Error Handling

+POSIX filesystem functions offer a single return code meaning that

+generally return meaningful values for that particular function.
+
+### chmod, chown, removexattr, setxattr, truncate, utimens
+
+1. if no error: return 0 (success)
+2. if no successes: return first error
+3. if one of the files acted on was the same as the related search function: return its value
+4. return 0 (success)
+
+While doing this increases the complexity and cost of error handling,

+value.

+Older versions of mergerfs would return success if any success occurred
+but for unlink and rmdir there are downstream assumptions that, while

+### others
+
+For search functions, there is always a single thing acted on and as

+
+For create functions `mkdir`, `mknod`, and `symlink` which don't
+return a file descriptor and therefore can have `all` or `epall`
+policies it will return success if any of the calls succeed and an
+error otherwise.

+
+
+## Does mergerfs support CoW / copy-on-write / writes to read-only filesystems?
+
+Not in the sense of a filesystem like BTRFS or ZFS nor in the
+overlayfs or aufs sense. It does offer a
+[cow-shell](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/cow-shell.1.html)

+which can be useful when wanting to save space by hardlinking
+duplicate files but wish to treat each name as if it were a unique and
+separate file.
+
+If you want to write to a read-only filesystem you should look at
+overlayfs. You can always include the overlayfs mount into a mergerfs
+pool.
+
+
+## Can mergerfs run via Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, etc.
+
+Yes. With Docker you'll need to include `--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN
+--device=/dev/fuse --security-opt=apparmor:unconfined` or similar with
+other container runtimes. You should also be running it as root or
+given sufficient caps to change user and group identity as well as

+
+Keep in mind that you **MUST** consider identity when using
+containers. For example: supplemental groups will be picked up from
+the container unless you properly manage users and groups by sharing
+relevant /etc files or by using some other means to share identity
+across containers. Similarly, if you use "rootless" containers and user
+namespaces to do uid/gid translations you **MUST** consider that while
+managing shared files.
+
+Also, as mentioned by [hotio](https://hotio.dev/containers/mergerfs),

+# Configuration and Policies
+
+## What policies should I use?
+
+Unless you're doing something more niche the average user is probably
+best off using `mfs` for `category.create`. It will spread files out
+across your branches based on available space. Use `mspmfs` if you
+want to try to colocate the data a bit more. You may want to use `lus`
+if you prefer a slightly different distribution of data if you have a
+mix of smaller and larger filesystems. Generally though `mfs`, `lus`,
+or even `rand` are good for the general use case. If you are starting
+with an imbalanced pool you can use the tool **mergerfs.balance** to
+redistribute files across the pool. That said "balancing" really
+should not be needed. There is really no inherent issue with being
+unbalanced. "Optimal" layout is related to usage patterns and most
+people don't have patterns that are performance sensitive or specific
+enough to do anything about. Additionally, the balance tool is very
+simplistic and was not written to be as serious tool that accounts for
+edge cases.
+
+If you really wish to try to colocate files based on directory you can
+set `func.create` to `epmfs` or similar and `func.mkdir` to `rand` or
+`eprand` depending on if you just want to colocate generally or on
+specific branches. Either way the _need_ to colocate is rare. For
+instance: if you wish to remove the device regularly and want the data
+to predictably be on that device or if you don't use backup at all and
+don't wish to replace that data piecemeal. In which case using path
+preservation can help but will require some manual
+attention. Colocating after the fact can be accomplished using the
+**mergerfs.consolidate** tool. If you don't need strict colocation
+which the `ep` policies provide then you can use the `msp` based
+policies which will walk back the path till finding a branch that
+works.
+
+Ultimately there is no correct answer. It is a preference or based on
+some particular need. mergerfs is very easy to test and experiment
+with. I suggest creating a test setup and experimenting to get a sense
+of what you want.
+
+`epmfs` is the default `category.create` policy because `ep` policies
+are not going to change the general layout of the branches. It won't
+place files/dirs on branches that don't already have the relative
+branch. So it keeps the system in a known state. It's much easier to
+stop using `epmfs` or redistribute files around the filesystem than it
+is to consolidate them back.
+
+
+## What settings should I use?
+
+Depends on what features you want. Generally speaking, there are no
+"wrong" settings. All settings are feature related. The best bet is to
+read over the available options and choose what fits your
+situation. If something isn't clear from the documentation please
+reach out and the documentation will be improved.
+
+For the average person the settings described in the [Quick
+Start](../quickstart.md) are sufficient.
+
+
+## Why are all my files ending up on 1 filesystem?!
+
+Did you start with empty filesystems? Did you explicitly configure a
+`category.create` policy? Are you using an `existing path` / `path
+preserving` policy?
+
+The default create policy is `epmfs`. That is a path preserving
+algorithm. With such a policy for `mkdir` and `create` with a set of
+empty filesystems it will select only 1 filesystem when the first
+directory is created. Anything, files or directories, created in that
+first directory will be placed on the same branch because it is
+preserving paths.
+
+This may catch new users off guard but this policy is the safest
+policy to start with as it will not change the general layout of the
+underlying filesystems. If you do not care about path preservation
+(most shouldn't) and wish your files to be spread across all your
+filesystems change to `mfs` or similar
+[policy](../config/functions_categories_and_policies.md). If you do
+want path preservation you'll need to perform the manual act of
+creating paths on the filesystems you want the data to land on before
+transferring your data.

+# Limiting drive spinup
+
+## How can I setup my system to limit drive spinup?
+
+TL;DR: You really can't. Not through mergerfs alone.
+
+
+mergerfs is a proxy. Not a cache. It proxies calls between client software and underlying filesystems. If a client does an `open`, `readdir`, `stat`, etc. it must translate that into something that makes sense across N filesystems. For `readdir` that means running the call against all branches and aggregating the output. For `open` that means finding the file to open and doing so. The only way to find the file to open is to scan across all branches and sort the results and pick one. There is no practical way to do otherwise. Especially given so many mergerfs users expect out of band changes to "just work."
+
+The best way to limit spinup of drives is to limit their usage at the client level. Meaning keeping software from interacting with the filesystem all together.
+
+### What if you assume no out of band changes and cache everything?
+
+This would require a significant rewrite of mergerfs. Everything is done on the fly right now and all those calls to underlying filesystems can cause a spinup. To work around that a database of some sort would have to be used to store ALL metadata about the underlying filesystems and on startup everything scanned and stored. From then on it would have to carefully update all the same data the filesystems do. It couldn't be kept in RAM because it would take up too much space so it'd have to be on a SSD or other storage device. If anything changed out of band it would break things in weird ways. It could rescan on occasion but that would require spinning up everything. It could put file watches on every single directory but that probably won't scale (there are millions of directories in my system for example) and the open files might keep the drives from spinning down. Something as "simple" as keeping the current available free space on each filesystem isn't as easy as one might think given reflinks, snapshots, and other block level dedup technologies.
+
+Even if all metadata (including xattrs) is cached some software will open files (media like videos and audio) to check their metadata. Granted a Plex or Jellyfin scan which may do that is different from a random directory listing but is still something to consider. Those "deep" scans can't be kept from waking drives.
+
+### What if you only query already active drives?
+
+Let's assume that is plausible (it isn't because some drives actually will spin up if you ask if they are spun down... yes... really) you would have to either cache all the metadata on the filesystem or treat it like the filesystem doesn't exist. The former has all the problems mentioned prior and the latter would break a lot of things.
+
+### Is there anything that can be done where mergerfs is involved?
+
+Yes, but whether it works for you depends on your tolerance for the complexity.
+
+1. Cleanly separate writing, storing, and consuming the data.
+   1. Use a SSD or dedicated and limited pool of drives for downloads / torrents.
+   2. When downloaded move the files to the primary storage pool.
+   3. When setting up software like Plex, Jellyfin, etc. point to the underlying filesystems. Not mergerfs.
+2. Add a bunch of bcache, lvmcache, or similar block level cache to your setup. After a bit of use, assuming sufficient storage space, you can limit the likelihood of the underlying spinning disks from needing to be hit.
+
+Remember too that while it may be a tradeoff you're willing to live with there is decent evidence that spinning down drives puts increased wear on them and can lead to their death earlier than otherwise.

+# Recommendations and Warnings
+
+## What should mergerfs NOT be used for?
+
+- databases: Even if the database stored data in separate files
+  (mergerfs wouldn't offer much otherwise) the higher latency of the
+  indirection will really harm performance. If it is a lightly used
+  sqlite3 database then it should be fine.
+- VM images: For the same reasons as databases. VM images are accessed
+  very aggressively and mergerfs will introduce a lot of extra latency.
+- As replacement for RAID: mergerfs is just for pooling branches. If
+  you need that kind of device performance aggregation or high
+  availability you should stick with RAID. However, it is fine to put
+  a filesystem which is on a RAID setup in mergerfs.
+
+
+## It's mentioned that there are some security issues with mhddfs. What are they? How does mergerfs address them?
+
+[mhddfs](https://github.com/trapexit/mhddfs) manages running as
+`root` by calling
+[getuid()](https://github.com/trapexit/mhddfs/blob/cae96e6251dd91e2bdc24800b4a18a74044f6672/src/main.c#L319)
+and if it returns `0` then it will
+[chown](http://linux.die.net/man/1/chown) the file. Not only is that a
+race condition but it doesn't handle other situations. Rather than
+attempting to simulate POSIX ACL behavior the proper way to manage
+this is to use [seteuid](http://linux.die.net/man/2/seteuid) and
+[setegid](http://linux.die.net/man/2/setegid), in effect, becoming the
+user making the original call, and perform the action as them. This is
+what mergerfs does and why mergerfs should always run as root.
+
+In Linux setreuid syscalls apply only to the thread. glibc hides this
+away by using realtime signals to inform all threads to change
+credentials. Taking after Samba, mergerfs uses
+`syscall(SYS_setreuid,...)` to set the callers credentials for that
+thread only. Jumping back to `root` as necessary should escalated
+privileges be needed (for instance: to clone paths between
+filesystems).
+
+For non-Linux systems, mergerfs uses a read-write lock and changes
+credentials only when necessary. If multiple threads are to be user X
+then only the first one will need to change the processes
+credentials. So long as the other threads need to be user X they will
+take a readlock allowing multiple threads to share the
+credentials. Once a request comes in to run as user Y that thread will
+attempt a write lock and change to Y's credentials when it can. If the
+ability to give writers priority is supported then that flag will be
+used so threads trying to change credentials don't starve. This isn't
+the best solution but should work reasonably well assuming there are
+few users.

+# Technical Behavior and Limitations
+
+## Do hardlinks work?
+
+Yes. See also the option `inodecalc` for how inode values are
+calculated.
+
+What mergerfs does not do is fake hard links across branches. Read
+the section "rename & link" for how it works.
+
+Remember that hardlinks will NOT work across devices. That includes
+between the original filesystem and a mergerfs pool, between two
+separate pools of the same underlying filesystems, or bind mounts of
+paths within the mergerfs pool. The latter is common when using Docker
+or Podman. Multiple volumes (bind mounts) to the same underlying
+filesystem are considered different devices. There is no way to link
+between them. You should mount in the highest directory in the
+mergerfs pool that includes all the paths you need if you want links
+to work.
+
+## How does mergerfs handle moving and copying of files?
+
+This is a _very_ common mistaken assumption regarding how filesystems
+work. There is no such thing as "move" or "copy." These concepts are
+high level behaviors made up of numerous independent steps and _not_
+individual filesystem functions.
+
+A "move" can include a "copy" so lets describe copy first.
+
+When an application copies a file from source to destination it can do
+so in a number of ways but the basics are the following.
+
+1. `open` the source file.
+2. `create` the destination file.
+3. `read` a chunk of data from source and `write` to
+   destination. Continue till it runs out of data to copy.
+4. Copy file metadata (`stat`) such as ownership (`chown`),
+   permissions (`chmod`), timestamps (`utimes`), extended attributes
+   (`getxattr`, `setxattr`), etc.
+5. `close` source and destination files.
+
+"move" is typically a `rename(src,dst)` and if that errors with
+`EXDEV` (meaning the source and destination are on different
+filesystems) the application will "copy" the file as described above
+and then it removes (`unlink`) the source.
+
+The `rename(src,dst)`, `open(src)`, `create(dst)`, data copying,
+metadata copying, `unlink(src)`, etc. are entirely distinct and
+separate events. There is really no practical way to know that what is
+ultimately occurring is the "copying" of a file or what the source
+file would be. Since the source is not known there is no way to know
+how large a created file is destined to become. This is why it is
+impossible for mergerfs to choose the branch for a `create` based on
+file size. The only context provided when a file is created, besides
+the name, is the permissions, if it is to be read and/or written, and
+some low level settings for the operating system.
+
+All of this means that mergerfs can not make decisions when a file is
+created based on file size or the source of the data. That information
+is simply not available. At best mergerfs could respond to files
+reaching a certain size when writing data or when a file is closed.
+
+Related: if a user wished to have mergerfs perform certain activities
+based on the name of a file it is common and even best practice for a
+program to write to a temporary file first and then rename to its
+final destination. That temporary file name will typically be random
+and have no indication of the type of file being written.
+
+## Does FICLONE or FICLONERANGE work?
+
+Unfortunately not. FUSE, the technology mergerfs is based on, does not
+support the `clone_file_range` feature needed for it to work. mergerfs
+won't even know such a request is made. The kernel will simply return
+an error back to the application making the request.
+
+Should FUSE gain the ability mergerfs will be updated to support it.
+
+## Why do I get an "out of space" / "no space left on device" / ENOSPC error even though there appears to be lots of space available?
+
+First make sure you've read the sections above about policies, path
+preservation, branch filtering, and the options **minfreespace**,
+**moveonenospc**, **statfs**, and **statfs_ignore**.
+
+mergerfs is simply presenting a union of the content within multiple
+branches. The reported free space is an aggregate of space available
+within the pool (behavior modified by **statfs** and
+**statfs_ignore**). It does not represent a contiguous space. In the
+same way that read-only filesystems, those with quotas, or reserved
+space report the full theoretical space available.
+
+Due to path preservation, branch tagging, read-only status, and
+**minfreespace** settings it is perfectly valid that `ENOSPC` / "out
+of space" / "no space left on device" be returned. It is doing what
+was asked of it: filtering possible branches due to those
+settings. Only one error can be returned and if one of the reasons for
+filtering a branch was **minfreespace** then it will be returned as
+such. **moveonenospc** is only relevant to writing a file which is too
+large for the filesystem it's currently on.
+
+It is also possible that the filesystem selected has run out of
+inodes. Use `df -i` to list the total and available inodes per
+filesystem.
+
+If you don't care about path preservation then simply change the
+`create` policy to one which isn't. `mfs` is probably what most are
+looking for. The reason it's not default is because it was originally
+set to `epmfs` and changing it now would change people's setup. Such a
+setting change will likely occur in mergerfs 3.
+
+## Why does the total available space in mergerfs not equal outside?
+
+Are you using ext2/3/4? With reserve for root? mergerfs uses available
+space for statfs calculations. If you've reserved space for root then
+it won't show up.
+
+You can remove the reserve by running: `tune2fs -m 0 <device>`
+
+## I notice massive slowdowns of writes when enabling cache.files.
+
+When file caching is enabled in any form (`cache.files!=off`) it will
+issue `getxattr` requests for `security.capability` prior to _every
+single write_. This will usually result in performance degradation,
+especially when using a network filesystem (such as NFS or SMB.)
+Unfortunately at this moment, the kernel is not caching the response.
+
+To work around this situation mergerfs offers a few solutions.
+
+1. Set `security_capability=false`. It will short circuit any call and
+   return `ENOATTR`. This still means though that mergerfs will
+   receive the request before every write but at least it doesn't get
+   passed through to the underlying filesystem.
+2. Set `xattr=noattr`. Same as above but applies to _all_ calls to
+   getxattr. Not just `security.capability`. This will not be cached
+   by the kernel either but mergerfs' runtime config system will still
+   function.
+3. Set `xattr=nosys`. Results in mergerfs returning `ENOSYS` which
+   _will_ be cached by the kernel. No future xattr calls will be
+   forwarded to mergerfs. The downside is that also means the xattr
+   based config and query functionality won't work either.
+4. Disable file caching. If you aren't using applications which use
+   `mmap` it's probably simpler to just disable it altogether. The
+   kernel won't send the requests when caching is disabled.
+
+## Why can't I see my files / directories?
+
+It's almost always a permissions issue. Unlike mhddfs and
+unionfs-fuse, which runs as root and attempts to access content as
+such, mergerfs always changes its credentials to that of the
+caller. This means that if the user does not have access to a file or
+directory than neither will mergerfs. However, because mergerfs is
+creating a union of paths it may be able to read some files and
+directories on one filesystem but not another resulting in an
+incomplete set.
+
+Whenever you run into a split permission issue (seeing some but not
+all files) try using
+[mergerfs.fsck](https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs-tools) tool to
+check for and fix the mismatch. If you aren't seeing anything at all
+be sure that the basic permissions are correct. The user and group
+values are correct and that directories have their executable bit
+set. A common mistake by users new to Linux is to `chmod -R 644` when
+they should have `chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX`.
+
+If using a network filesystem such as NFS or SMB (Samba) be sure to
+pay close attention to anything regarding permissioning and
+users. Root squashing and user translation for instance has bitten a
+few mergerfs users. Some of these also affect the use of mergerfs from
+container platforms such as Docker.
+
+
+## Why use FUSE? Why not a kernel based solution?
+
+As with any solution to a problem, there are advantages and
+disadvantages to each one.
+
+A FUSE based solution has all the downsides of FUSE:
+
+- Higher IO latency due to the trips in and out of kernel space
+- Higher general overhead due to trips in and out of kernel space
+- Double caching when using page caching
+- Misc limitations due to FUSE's design
+
+But FUSE also has a lot of upsides:
+
+- Easier to offer a cross platform solution
+- Easier forward and backward compatibility
+- Easier updates for users
+- Easier and faster release cadence
+- Allows more flexibility in design and features
+- Overall easier to write, secure, and maintain
+- Much lower barrier to entry (getting code into the kernel takes a
+  lot of time and effort initially)
+
+
+## Is my OS's libfuse needed for mergerfs to work?
+
+No. Normally `mount.fuse` is needed to get mergerfs (or any FUSE
+filesystem to mount using the `mount` command but in vendoring the
+libfuse library the `mount.fuse` app has been renamed to
+`mount.mergerfs` meaning the filesystem type in `fstab` can simply be
+`mergerfs`. That said there should be no harm in having it installed
+and continuing to using `fuse.mergerfs` as the type in `/etc/fstab`.
+
+If `mergerfs` doesn't work as a type it could be due to how the
+`mount.mergerfs` tool was installed. Must be in `/sbin/` with proper
+permissions.
+
+
+## Why was splice support removed?
+
+After a lot of testing over the years, splicing always appeared to
+at best, provide equivalent performance, and in some cases, worse
+performance. Splice is not supported on other platforms forcing a
+traditional read/write fallback to be provided. The splice code was
+removed to simplify the codebase.

+Yes. mergerfs is really just a proxy and does **NOT** interfere with
+the normal form or function of the filesystems, mounts, paths it
+manages. A userland application that is acting as a
+man-in-the-middle. It can't do anything that any other random piece of
+software can't do.
+
+mergerfs is **not** a traditional filesystem that takes control over
+the underlying block device. mergerfs is **not** RAID. It does **not**
+manipulate the data that passes through it. It does **not** shard data
+across filesystems. It merely shards some **behavior** and aggregates
+others.
+
+
+## Can filesystems be removed from the pool without affecting them?
+
+Yes. See previous question's answer.
+
+
+## Can mergerfs be removed without affecting the data?
+
+Yes. See the previous question's answer.
+
+
+## Can filesystems be moved to another pool?
+
+Yes. See the previous question's answer.
+
+
+## Can filesystems be part of multiple pools?
+
+Yes.
+
+
+## How do I migrate data into or out of the pool when adding/removing filesystems?
+
+You don't need to. See the previous question's answer.
+
+
+## How do I remove a filesystem but keep the data in the pool?
+
+Nothing special needs to be done. Remove the branch from mergerfs'
+config and copy (rsync) the data from the removed filesystem into the
+pool. The same as if it were you transfering data from one filesystem
+to another.
+
+If you wish to continue using the pool while performing the transfer
+simply create a temporary pool without the filesystem in question and
+then copy the data. It would probably be a good idea to set the branch
+to `RO` prior to doing this to ensure no new content is written to the
+filesystem while performing the copy.
+
+
+## Can filesystems be written to directly? Outside of mergerfs while pooled?
+
+Yes, however, it's not recommended to use the same file from within the
+pool and from without at the same time (particularly
+writing). Especially if using caching of any kind (cache.files,
+cache.entry, cache.attr, cache.negative_entry, cache.symlinks,
+cache.readdir, etc.) as there could be a conflict between cached data
+and not.

+# mergerfs - a featureful union filesystem
+
+**mergerfs** is a
+[FUSE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) based
+[union filesystem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_mount) geared
+towards simplifying storage and management of files across numerous
+commodity storage devices. It is similar to **mhddfs**, **unionfs**,
+and **aufs**.
+
+## Features
+
+* Logically combine numerous filesystems/paths into a single
+  mount point
+* Combine paths of the same or different filesystems
+* Ability to add or remove filesystems/paths without impacting the
+  rest of the data
+* Unaffected by individual filesystem failure
+* Configurable file selection and creation placement
+* Works with filesystems of any size
+* Works with filesystems of almost any type
+* Ignore read-only filesystems when creating files
+* Hard link copy-on-write / CoW
+* Runtime configurable
+* Support for extended attributes (xattrs)
+* Support for file attributes (chattr)
+* Support for POSIX ACLs
+
+
+## Non-features
+
+* Read/write overlay on top of read-only filesystem like OverlayFS
+* File whiteout
+* RAID like parity calculation
+* Redundancy
+* Splitting of files across branches
+
+
+## How it works
+
+mergerfs logically merges multiple filesystem paths together. It acts
+as a proxy to the underlying filesystem paths. Combining the behaviors
+of some functions and being a selector for others.
+
+When the contents of a directory are requested mergerfs combines the
+list of files from each directory, deduplicating entries, and returns
+that list.
+
+When a file or directory is created a policy is first run to determine
+which branch will be selected for the creation.
+
+For functions which change attributes or remove the file the behavior
+may be applied to all instances found.
+
+Read more about [policies
+here](config/functions_categories_and_policies.md).

+# Known Issues and Bugs
+
+## mergerfs
+
+### Supplemental user groups
+
+Due to the overhead of
+[getgroups/setgroups](http://linux.die.net/man/2/setgroups) mergerfs
+utilizes a cache. This cache is opportunistic and per thread. Each
+thread will query the supplemental groups for a user when that
+particular thread needs to change credentials and will keep that data
+for the lifetime of the thread. This means that if a user is added to
+a group it may not be picked up without the restart of
+mergerfs. In the future this may be improved to allow a periodic or
+manual clearing of the cache.
+
+While not a bug some users have found when using containers that
+supplemental groups defined inside the container don't work as
+expected. Since mergerfs lives outside the container it is querying
+the host's group database. Effectively containers have their own user
+and group definitions unless setup otherwise just as different systems
+would.
+
+Users should mount in the host group file into the containers or use a
+standard shared user & groups technology like NIS or LDAP.
+
+
+### directory mtime is not being updated
+
+Remember that the default policy for `getattr` is `ff`. The
+information for the first directory found will be returned. If it
+wasn't the directory which had been updated then it will appear
+outdated.
+
+The reason this is the default is because any other policy would be
+more expensive and for many applications it is unnecessary. To always
+return the directory with the most recent mtime or a faked value based
+on all found would require a scan of all filesystems.
+
+If you always want the directory information from the one with the
+most recent mtime then use the `newest` policy for `getattr`.
+
+
+### 'mv /mnt/pool/foo /mnt/disk1/foo' removes 'foo'
+
+This is not a bug.
+
+Run in verbose mode to better understand what's happening:
+
+```
+$ mv -v /mnt/pool/foo /mnt/disk1/foo
+copied '/mnt/pool/foo' -> '/mnt/disk1/foo'
+removed '/mnt/pool/foo'
+$ ls /mnt/pool/foo
+ls: cannot access '/mnt/pool/foo': No such file or directory
+```
+
+`mv`, when working across devices, is copying the source to target and
+then removing the source. Since the source **is** the target in this
+case, depending on the unlink policy, it will remove the just copied
+file and other files across the branches.
+
+If you want to move files to one filesystem just copy them there and
+use mergerfs.dedup to clean up the old paths or manually remove them
+from the branches directly.
+
+
+### cached memory appears greater than it should be
+
+Use `cache.files=off` and/or `dropcacheonclose=true`. See the section
+on [page caching](config/cache.md).
+
+
+### NFS clients returning ESTALE / Stale file handle
+
+NFS generally does not like out of band changes. Take a look at the
+section on NFS in the [remote-filesystems](remote_filesystems.md) for
+more details.
+
+
+### rtorrent fails with ENODEV (No such device)
+
+Be sure to set
+[cache.files=partial|full|auto-full|per-process](config/cache.md)
+or use Linux kernel v6.6 or above. rtorrent and some other
+applications use [mmap](http://linux.die.net/man/2/mmap) to read and
+write to files and offer no fallback to traditional methods.
+
+
+### Plex / Jellyfin doesn't work with mergerfs
+
+ It does. If you're trying to put the software's config / metadata /
+database on mergerfs you can't set
+[cache.files=off](config/cache.md) (unless you use Linux v6.6 or
+above) because Plex is using **sqlite3** with **mmap** enabled.
+
+That said it is recommended that config and runtime files be stored on
+SSDs on a regular filesystem for performance reasons and if you are
+using HDDs in your pool to help limit spinup.
+
+Other software that leverages **sqlite3** which require **mmap**
+includes Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr.
+
+It is recommended that you reach out to the developers of the software
+you're having troubles with and asking them to add a fallback to
+regular file IO when **mmap** is unavailable. It is not only more
+compatible and resilient but also can be more performant in certain
+situations.
+
+If the issue is that quick scanning doesn't seem to pick up media then
+be sure to set `func.getattr=newest`, though generally, a full scan
+will pick up all media anyway.
+
+
+### When a program tries to move or rename a file it fails
+
+Please read the docs regarding [rename and
+link](config/rename_and_link.md).
+
+The problem is that many applications do not properly handle `EXDEV`
+errors which `rename` and `link` may return even though they are
+perfectly valid situations which do not indicate actual device,
+filesystem, or OS errors. The error will only be returned by mergerfs
+if using a path preserving policy as described in the policy section
+above. If you do not care about path preservation simply change the
+mergerfs policy to the non-path preserving version. For example: `-o
+category.create=mfs` Ideally the offending software would be fixed and
+it is recommended that if you run into this problem you contact the
+software's author and request proper handling of `EXDEV` errors.
+
+
+### my 32bit software has problems
+
+Some software have problems with 64bit inode values. The symptoms can
+include EOVERFLOW errors when trying to list files. You can address
+this by setting `inodecalc` to one of the 32bit based algos as
+described in the relevant section.
+
+### Moving files and directories fails with Samba
+
+Workaround: Copy the file/directory and then remove the original
+rather than move.
+
+This isn't an issue with Samba but some SMB clients. GVFS-fuse v1.20.3
+and prior (found in Ubuntu 14.04 among others) failed to handle
+certain error codes correctly. Particularly `STATUS_NOT_SAME_DEVICE`
+which comes from the `EXDEV` that is returned by `rename` when the
+call is crossing mount points. When a program gets an `EXDEV` it needs
+to explicitly take an alternate action to accomplish its goal. In the
+case of `mv` or similar it tries `rename` and on `EXDEV` falls back to
+a copying the file to the destination and deleting the source. In
+these older versions of GVFS-fuse if it received `EXDEV` it would
+translate that into `EIO`. This would cause `mv` or most any
+application attempting to move files around on that SMB share to fail
+with a generic IO error.
+
+[GVFS-fuse v1.22.0](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734568)
+and above fixed this issue but a large number of systems use the older
+release. On Ubuntu, the version can be checked by issuing `apt-cache
+showpkg gvfs-fuse`. Most distros released in 2015 seem to have the
+updated release and will work fine but older systems may
+not. Upgrading gvfs-fuse or the distro in general will address the
+problem.
+
+In Apple's MacOSX 10.9 they replaced Samba (client and server) with
+their own product. It appears their new client does not handle
+`EXDEV` either and responds similarly to older releases of gvfs on
+Linux.
+
+
+### Trashing files occasionally fails
+
+This is the same issue as with Samba. `rename` returns `EXDEV` (in our
+case that will really only happen with path preserving policies like
+`epmfs`) and the software doesn't handle the situation well. This is
+unfortunately a common failure of software which moves files
+around. The standard indicates that an implementation **MAY** choose
+to support non-user home directory trashing of files (which is a
+**MUST**). The implementation **MAY** also support "top directory
+trashes" which many probably do.
+
+To create a `$topdir/.Trash` directory as defined in the standard use
+the [mergerfs-tools](https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs-tools) tool
+`mergerfs.mktrash`.
+
+
+## FUSE and Linux kernel
+
+There have been a number of kernel issues / bugs over the years which
+mergerfs has run into. Here is a list of them for reference and
+posterity.
+
+
+### NFS and EIO errors
+
+[https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20240228160213.1988854-1-mszeredi@redhat.com/T/](https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20240228160213.1988854-1-mszeredi@redhat.com/T/)
+
+Over the years some users have reported that while exporting mergerfs
+via NFS, after significant filesystem activity, not only will the NFS
+client start returning ESTALE and EIO errors but mergerfs itself would
+start returning EIO errors. The problem was that no one could
+reliability reproduce the issue. After a string of reports in late
+2023 and early 2024 more investigation was done.
+
+In Linux 5.14 new validation was put into FUSE which caught a few
+invalid situations and would tag a FUSE node as invalid if a check
+failed. Such checks include invalid file type, changing of type from
+one request to another, a size greater than 63bit, and the generation
+of a inode changing while in use.
+
+What happened was that mergerfs was using a different fixed, non-zero
+value for the generation of all nodes as it was suggested that unique
+inode + generation pairs are needed for proper integration with
+NFS. That non-zero value was being sent back to the kernel when a
+lookup request was made for root. The reason this was hard to track
+down was because NFS almost uniquely uses an API which can lead to a
+lookup of the root node that simply won't happen under normal
+workloads and usage. And that lookup will only happen if child nodes
+of the root were forgotten but NFS still had a handle to that node and
+later asked for details about it. It would trigger a set of requests
+to lookup info on those nodes.
+
+This wasn't a bug in FUSE but mergerfs. However, the incorrect
+behavior of mergerfs lead to FUSE behave in an unexpected and
+incorrect manner. It would issue a lookup of the "parent of a child of
+the root" and mergerfs would send the invalid generation value. As a
+result the kernel would mark the root node as "bad" which would then
+trigger the kernel to issue a "forget root" message. In between those
+it would issue a request for the parent of the root... which doesn't
+exist.
+
+So the kernel was doing two invalid things. Requesting the parent of
+the root and then when that failed issuing a forget for the
+root. These led to chasing after the wrong possible causes.
+
+The change was for FUSE to revert the marking of root node bad if the
+generation is non-zero and warn about it. It will mark the node bad
+but not unhash/forget/remove it.
+
+mergerfs in v2.40.1 ensures that generation for root is always 0 on
+lookup which should work across any kernel version.
+
+
+### Truncated files
+
+This was a bug with `mmap` and `FUSE` on 32bit platforms. Should be fixed in all LTS releases.
+
+* [https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=155550785230874&w=2](https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=155550785230874&w=2)
+
+
+### Crashing on OpenVZ
+
+There was a bug in the OpenVZ kernel with regard to how it handles `ioctl` calls. It was making invalid requests which would lead to crashes due to mergerfs not expecting them.
+
+* [https://bugs.openvz.org/browse/OVZ-7145](https://bugs.openvz.org/browse/OVZ-7145)
+* [https://www.mail-archive.com/devel@openvz.org/msg37096.html](https://www.mail-archive.com/devel@openvz.org/msg37096.html)
+
+
+### Really bad mmap performance
+
+There was a bug in caching which affects overall performance of `mmap` through `FUSE` in Linux 4.x kernels. It is fixed in 4.4.10 and 4.5.4.

+# Tweaking Performance
+
+mergerfs is at its is a proxy and therefore its theoretical max
+performance is that of the underlying devices. However, given it is a
+FUSE based filesystem working from userspace there is an increase in
+overhead relative to kernel based solutions. That said the performance
+can match the theoretical max but it depends greatly on the system's
+configuration. Especially when adding network filesystems into the mix
+there are many variables which can impact performance. Device speeds
+and latency, network speeds and latency, concurrency and parallel
+limits of the hardware, read/write sizes, etc.
+
+While some settings can impact performance they are all **functional**
+in nature. Meaning they change mergerfs' behavior in some way. As a
+result there is no such thing as a "performance mode".
+
+If you're having performance issues please look over the suggestions
+below and the [benchmarking section.](benchmarking.md)
+
+NOTE: Be sure to [read about these features](config/options.md) before
+changing them to understand how functionality will change.
+
+* test theoretical performance using `nullrw` or mounting a ram disk
+* increase readahead: `readahead=1024`
+* disable `security_capability` and/or `xattr`
+* increase cache timeouts `cache.attr`, `cache.entry`, `cache.negative_entry`
+* enable (or disable) page caching (`cache.files`)
+* enable `parallel-direct-writes`
+* enable `cache.writeback`
+* enable `cache.statfs`
+* enable `cache.symlinks`
+* enable `cache.readdir`
+* change the number of threads available
+* disable `posix_acl`
+* disable `async_read`
+* use `symlinkify` if your data is largely static and read-only
+* use tiered cache devices
+* use LVM and LVM cache to place a SSD in front of your HDDs
+
+If you come across a setting that significantly impacts performance
+please [contact trapexit](support.md) so he may investigate further. Please test
+both against your normal setup, a singular branch, and with
+`nullrw=true`

+# Project Comparisons
+
+## mhddfs
+
+* [https://romanrm.net/mhddfs](https://romanrm.net/mhddfs)
+
+mhddfs had not been updated in over a decade and has known stability
+and security issues. mergerfs provides a super set of mhddfs' features
+and offers better performance. In fact, as of 2020, the author of
+mhddfs has [moved to using
+mergerfs.](https://romanrm.net/mhddfs#update)
+
+Below is an example of mhddfs and mergerfs setup to work similarly.
+
+`mhddfs -o mlimit=4G,allow_other /mnt/drive1,/mnt/drive2 /mnt/pool`
+
+`mergerfs -o minfreespace=4G,category.create=ff /mnt/drive1:/mnt/drive2 /mnt/pool`
+
+
+## aufs
+
+* [https://aufs.sourceforge.net](https://aufs.sourceforge.net)
+* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufs)
+
+While aufs still is maintained it failed to be included in the
+mainline kernel and is no longer available in most Linux distros
+making it harder to get installed for the average user.
+
+While aufs can often offer better peak performance due to being
+primarily kernel based, mergerfs provides more configurability and is
+generally easier to use. mergerfs however does not offer the overlay /
+copy-on-write (CoW) features which aufs has.
+
+
+## unionfs
+
+* [https://unionfs.filesystems.org](https://unionfs.filesystems.org)
+
+unionfs for Linux is a "stackable unification file system" which
+functions like many other union filesystems. unionfs has not been
+maintained and was last released for Linux v3.14 back in 2014.
+
+Documentation is sparse so a comparison of features is not possible
+but given the lack of maintenance and support for modern kernels there
+is little reason to consider it as a solution.
+
+
+## unionfs-fuse
+
+* [https://github.com/rpodgorny/unionfs-fuse](https://github.com/rpodgorny/unionfs-fuse)
+
+unionfs-fuse is more like unionfs, aufs, and overlayfs than mergerfs
+in that it offers overlay / copy-on-write (CoW) features. If you're
+just looking to create a union of filesystems and want flexibility in
+file/directory placement then mergerfs offers that whereas
+unionfs-fuse is more for overlaying read/write filesystems over
+read-only ones.
+
+Since unionfs-fuse, as the name suggests, is a FUSE based technology
+it can be used without elevated privileges that kernel solutions such
+as unionfs, aufs, and overlayfs require.
+
+
+## overlayfs
+
+* [https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/overlayfs.html](https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/overlayfs.html)
+
+overlayfs is effectively the successor to unionfs, unionfs-fuse, and
+aufs and is widely used by Linux container platforms such as Docker and
+Podman. It was developed and is maintained by the same developer who
+created FUSE.
+
+If your use case is layering a writable filesystem on top of read-only
+filesystems then you should look first to overlayfs. Its feature set
+however is very different from mergerfs and solve different problems.
+
+
+## RAID0, JBOD, SPAN, drive concatenation, striping
+
+* [RAID0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_0)
+* [JBOD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-RAID_drive_architectures#JBOD)
+* [SPAN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-RAID_drive_architectures#Concatenation_(SPAN,_BIG))
+* [striping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_striping)
+
+These are block device technologies which in some form aggregate
+devices into what appears to be a singular device on which a
+traditional filesystem can be used. The filesystem has no
+understanding of the underlying block layout and should one of those
+underlying devices fail or be removed the filesystem will be missing
+that chunk which could contain critical information and the whole
+filesystem may become unrecoverable. Even if the data from the
+filesystem is recoverable it will take using specialized tooling to do
+so.
+
+In contrast, with mergerfs you can format devices as one normally
+would or take existing filesystems and then combine them in a pool to
+aggregate their storage. The failure of any one device will have no
+impact on the other devices. The downside to mergerfs' technique is
+the fact you don't actually have contiguous space as large as if you
+used those other technologies. Meaning you can't create a file greater
+than 1TB on a pool of 2 1TB filesystems.
+
+
+## UnRAID
+
+* [https://unraid.net](https://unraid.net)
+
+UnRAID is a full OS and offers a (FUSE based?) filesystem which
+provides a union of filesystems like mergerfs but with the addition of
+live parity calculation and storage. Outside parity calculations
+mergerfs offers more features and due to the lack of real-time parity
+calculation can have higher peak performance. Some users also prefer
+an open source solution.
+
+For semi-static data mergerfs + [SnapRaid](http://www.snapraid.it)
+provides a similar, but not real-time, solution.
+
+
+## ZFS
+
+* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS)
+
+mergerfs is very different from ZFS. mergerfs is intended to provide
+flexible pooling of arbitrary filesystems (local or remote), of
+arbitrary sizes, and arbitrary filesystems. Particularly in `write
+once, read many` use cases such as bulk media storage. Where data
+integrity and backup is managed in other ways. In those use cases ZFS
+can introduce a number of costs and limitations as described
+[here](http://louwrentius.com/the-hidden-cost-of-using-zfs-for-your-home-nas.html),
+[here](https://markmcb.com/2020/01/07/five-years-of-btrfs/), and
+[here](https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/solaris/ZFSWhyNoRealReshaping).
+
+
+## StableBit's DrivePool
+
+* [https://stablebit.com](https://stablebit.com)
+
+DrivePool works only on Windows so not as common an alternative as
+other Linux solutions. If you want to use Windows then DrivePool is a
+good option. Functionally the two projects work a bit
+differently. DrivePool always writes to the filesystem with the most
+free space and later rebalances. mergerfs does not currently offer
+rebalance but chooses a branch at file/directory create
+time. DrivePool's rebalancing can be done differently in any directory
+and has file pattern matching to further customize the
+behavior. mergerfs, not having rebalancing does not have these
+features, but similar features are planned for mergerfs v3. DrivePool
+has builtin file duplication which mergerfs does not natively support
+(but can be done via an external script.)
+
+There are a lot of misc differences between the two projects but most
+features in DrivePool can be replicated with external tools in
+combination with mergerfs.
+
+Additionally, DrivePool is a closed source commercial product vs
+mergerfs a ISC licensed open source project.
+
+
+## Plan9 binds
+
+* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs#Union_directories_and_namespaces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs#Union_directories_and_namespaces)
+
+Plan9 has the native ability to bind multiple paths/filesystems
+together to create a setup similar to simplified union
+filesystem. Such bind mounts choose files in a "first found" in the
+order they are listed similar to mergerfs' `ff` policy. Similar, when
+creating a file it will be created on the first directory in the
+union.
+
+Plan 9 isn't a widely used OS so this comparison is mostly academic.

+# QuickStart
+
+## Install
+
+First ensure you have the [latest version installed](setup/installation.md).
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+mergerfs has many options and effectively all of them are functional
+in nature. What that means is that there is no "best" or "fastest"
+configuration. No "make faster" options. Everything changes
+behavior. Sometimes those changes in behavior affect performance.
+
+That said: If you don't already know that you have a special use case
+then use one of the following option sets as it will cover most casual
+usecases.
+
+### You use Linux v6.6 or above
+
+* cache.files=off
+* category.create=mfs
+* dropecacheonclose=false
+
+In previous versions of Linux it was unable to support `mmap` if page
+caching was disabled (ie: `cache.files=off`). However, it now will
+enable page caching if needed for a particular file if mmap is
+requested.
+
+`mmap` is needed by certain software to read and write to a
+file. However, many software could work without it and fail to have
+proper error handling. Many programs that use sqlite3 will require
+`mmap` despite sqlite3 working perfectly fine without it (and in some
+cases can be more performant with regular file IO.)
+
+
+### You use Linux v6.5 or below
+
+#### You need `mmap` (used by rtorrent and many sqlite3 base software)
+
+* cache.files=auto-full
+* category.create=mfs
+* dropcacheonclose=true
+
+
+#### You don't need `mmap`
+
+* cache.files=off
+* category.create=mfs
+* dropcacheonclose=false
+
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line
+
+```
+mergerfs -o cache.files=off,dropcacheonclose=false,category.create=mfs /mnt/hdd0:/mnt/hdd1 /media
+```

+/mnt/hdd0:/mnt/hdd1 /media mergerfs cache.files=off,dropcacheonclose=false,category.create=mfs 0 0
+```
+
+### /etc/fstab w/ config file
+
+For more complex setups it can be useful to separate out the config.
+
+
+#### /etc/fstab
+
+```
+/etc/mergerfs/branches/media/* /media mergerfs config=/etc/mergerfs/config/media.ini

+```ini title="media.ini" linenums="1"
+cache.files=off
+category.create=mfs
+dropcacheonclose=false
+```
+
+#### /etc/mergerfs/branches/media/
+
+Create a bunch of symlinks to point to the branch. mergerfs will
+resolve the symlinks and use the real path.
+
+`ls -lh /etc/mergerfs/branches/media/*`
+
+```text
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug  4  2023 hdd00 -> /mnt/hdd/hdd00

+# Remote Filesystems
+
+Many users ask about compatibility with remote filesystems. This
+section is to describe any known issues or quirks when using mergerfs
+with common remote filesystems.
+
+Keep in mind that, like with caching, it is **NOT** a good idea to
+change the contents of the remote filesystem
+[out-of-band](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-band). Meaning that
+you should not change the contents of the underlying filesystems or
+mergerfs on the server hosting the remote filesystem. Doing so can
+lead to weird behavior, inconsistency, errors, and even data
+corruption should multiple programs try to write or read the same data
+at the same time. This isn't to say you can't do it or that data
+corruption is likely but it _could_ happen. It is better to always use
+the remote filesystem. Even on the machine serving it.
+
+## NFS
+
+[NFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System) is a common
+remote filesystem on Unix/POSIX systems. Due to how NFS works there
+are some settings which need to be set in order for mergerfs to work
+with it.
+
+It should be noted that NFS and FUSE (the technology mergerfs uses) do
+not work perfectly with one another due to certain design choices in
+FUSE (and mergerfs.) Due to these issues, it is generally recommended
+to use SMB when possible. That said mergerfs should generally work as
+an export of NFS and issues discovered should still be reported.
+
+To ensure compatibility between mergerfs and NFS use the following
+settings.
+
+mergerfs settings:
+
+* `noforget`
+* `inodecalc=path-hash`
+
+NFS export settings:
+
+* `fsid=UUID`
+* `no_root_squash`
+
+`noforget` is needed because NFS uses the `name_to_handle_at` and
+`open_by_handle_at` functions which allow a program to keep a
+reference to a file without technically having it open in the typical
+sense. The problem is that FUSE has no way to know that NFS has a
+handle that it will later use to open the file again. As a result, it
+is possible for the kernel to tell mergerfs to forget about the node
+and should NFS ever ask for that node's details in the future it would
+have nothing to respond with. Keeping nodes around forever is not
+ideal but at the moment the only way to manage the situation.
+
+`inodecalc=path-hash` is needed because NFS is sensitive to
+out-of-band changes. FUSE doesn't care if a file's inode value changes
+but NFS, being stateful, does. So if you used the default inode
+calculation algorithm then it is possible that if you changed a file
+or updated a directory the file mergerfs will use will be on a
+different branch and therefore the inode would change. This isn't an
+ideal solution and others are being considered but it works for most
+situations.
+
+`fsid=UUID` is needed because FUSE filesystems don't have different
+`st_dev` values which can cause issues when exporting. The easiest
+thing to do is set each mergerfs export `fsid` to some random
+value. An easy way to generate a random value is to use the command
+line tool `uuid` or `uuidgen` or through a website such as
+[uuidgenerator.net](https://www.uuidgenerator.net/).
+
+`no_root_squash` is not strictly necessary but can lead to confusing
+permission and ownership issues if root squashing is enabled. mergerfs
+needs to run certain commands as `root` and if root squash is enabled
+it NFS will tell mergerfs a non-root user is making certain calls.
+
+
+## SMB / CIFS
+
+[SMB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block) is a
+protocol most used by Microsoft Windows systems to share file shares,
+printers, etc. However, due to the popularity of Windows, it is also
+supported on many other platforms including Linux. The most popular
+way of supporting SMB on Linux is via the software Samba.
+
+[Samba](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software)>), and other
+ways of serving Linux filesystems, via SMB should work fine with
+mergerfs. The services do not tend to use the same technologies which
+NFS uses and therefore don't have the same issues. There should not be
+special settings required to use mergerfs with Samba. However,
+[CIFSD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIFSD) and other programs have
+not been extensively tested. If you use mergerfs with CIFSD or other
+SMB servers please submit your experiences so these docs can be
+updated.
+
+
+## SSHFS
+
+[SSHFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS) is a FUSE filesystem
+leveraging SSH as the connection and transport layer. While often
+simpler to setup when compared to NFS or Samba the performance can be
+lacking and the project is very much in maintenance mode.
+
+There are no known issues using sshfs with mergerfs. You may want to
+use the following arguments to improve performance but your millage
+may vary.
+
+- `-o Ciphers=arcfour`
+- `-o Compression=no`
+
+More info can be found
+[here](https://ideatrash.net/2016/08/odds-and-ends-optimizing-sshfs-moving.html).
+
+
+## Other
+
+There are other remote filesystems but none popularly used to serve
+mergerfs. If you use something not listed above feel free to reach out
+and I will add it to the list.

+# Runtime Interfaces
+
+## Runtime Config
+
+### .mergerfs pseudo file
+
+```
+<mountpoint>/.mergerfs
+```
+
+There is a pseudo file available at the mount point which allows for
+the runtime modification of certain **mergerfs** options. The file
+will not show up in **readdir** but can be **stat**'ed and manipulated
+via [{list,get,set}xattrs](http://linux.die.net/man/2/listxattr)
+calls.
+
+Any changes made at runtime are **not** persisted. If you wish for
+values to persist they must be included as options wherever you
+configure the mounting of mergerfs (/etc/fstab).
+
+
+#### Keys
+
+Use `getfattr -d /mountpoint/.mergerfs` or `xattr -l
+/mountpoint/.mergerfs` to see all supported keys. Some are
+informational and therefore read-only. `setxattr` will return EINVAL
+(invalid argument) on read-only keys.
+
+
+#### Values
+
+Same as the command line.
+
+
+##### user.mergerfs.branches
+
+Used to query or modify the list of branches. When modifying there are
+several shortcuts to easy manipulation of the list.
+
+| Value    | Description                |
+| -------- | -------------------------- |
+| [list]   | set                        |
+| +<[list] | prepend                    |
+| +>[list] | append                     |
+| -[list]  | remove all values provided |
+| -<       | remove first in list       |
+| ->       | remove last in list        |
+
+`xattr -w user.mergerfs.branches +</mnt/drive3 /mnt/pool/.mergerfs`
+
+The `=NC`, `=RO`, `=RW` syntax works just as on the command line.
+
+##### Example
+
+```
+[trapexit:/mnt/mergerfs] $ getfattr -d .mergerfs
+user.mergerfs.branches="/mnt/a=RW:/mnt/b=RW"
+user.mergerfs.minfreespace="4294967295"
+user.mergerfs.moveonenospc="false"
+...
+
+[trapexit:/mnt/mergerfs] $ getfattr -n user.mergerfs.category.search .mergerfs
+user.mergerfs.category.search="ff"
+
+[trapexit:/mnt/mergerfs] $ setfattr -n user.mergerfs.category.search -v newest .mergerfs
+[trapexit:/mnt/mergerfs] $ getfattr -n user.mergerfs.category.search .mergerfs
+user.mergerfs.category.search="newest"
+```
+
+### file / directory xattrs
+
+While they won't show up when using `getfattr` **mergerfs** offers a
+number of special xattrs to query information about the files
+served. To access the values you will need to issue a
+[getxattr](http://linux.die.net/man/2/getxattr) for one of the
+following:
+
+- **user.mergerfs.basepath**: the base mount point for the file given the current getattr policy
+- **user.mergerfs.relpath**: the relative path of the file from the perspective of the mount point
+- **user.mergerfs.fullpath**: the full path of the original file given the getattr policy
+- **user.mergerfs.allpaths**: a NUL ('\0') separated list of full paths to all files found
+
+## Signals
+
+- USR1: This will cause mergerfs to send invalidation notifications to
+  the kernel for all files. This will cause all unused files to be
+  released from memory.
+- USR2: Trigger a general cleanup of currently unused memory. A more
+  thorough version of what happens every ~15 minutes.
+
+## ioctl
+
+Found in `fuse_ioctl.cpp`:
+
+```C++
+typedef char IOCTL_BUF[4096];
+#define IOCTL_APP_TYPE             0xDF
+#define IOCTL_FILE_INFO            _IOWR(IOCTL_APP_TYPE,0,IOCTL_BUF)
+#define IOCTL_GC                   _IO(IOCTL_APP_TYPE,1)
+#define IOCTL_GC1                  _IO(IOCTL_APP_TYPE,2)
+#define IOCTL_INVALIDATE_ALL_NODES _IO(IOCTL_APP_TYPE,3)
+```
+
+- IOCTL_FILE_INFO: Same as the "file / directory xattrs" mentioned
+  above. Use a buffer size of 4096 bytes. Pass in a string of
+  "basepath", "relpath", "fullpath", or "allpaths". Receive details in
+  same buffer.
+- IOCTL_GC: Triggers a thorough garbage collection of excess
+  memory. Same as SIGUSR2.
+- IOCTL_GC1: Triggers a simple garbage collection of excess
+  memory. Same as what happens every 15 minutes normally.
+- IOCTL_INVALIDATE_ALL_NODES: Same as SIGUSR1. Send invalidation
+  notifications to the kernel for all files causing unused files to be
+  released from memory.

+# Upgrade
+
+mergerfs can be upgraded live by mounting on top of the previous
+instance. Simply install the new version of mergerfs and follow the
+instructions below.
+
+Run mergerfs again or if using `/etc/fstab` call for it to mount
+again. Existing open files and such will continue to work fine though
+they won't see runtime changes since any such change would be the new
+mount. If you plan on changing settings with the new mount you should

+```
+$ sudo mount /mnt/mergerfs
+$ mount | grep mergerfs
+media on /mnt/mergerfs type mergerfs (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)
+media on /mnt/mergerfs type mergerfs (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)
+```
+
+A problem with this approach is that the underlying instance will
+continue to run even if the software using it stop or are
+restarted. To work around this you can use a "lazy umount". Before
+mounting over top the mount point with the new instance of mergerfs
+issue: `umount -l <mergerfs_mountpoint>`. Or you can let mergerfs do
+it by setting the option `lazy-umount-mountpoint=true`.

+# Tips and Notes
+
+* This document is literal and reasonably thorough. If a suspected
+  feature isn't mentioned it doesn't exist. If certain `libfuse`
+  arguments aren't listed they probably shouldn't be used.
+* Ensure you're using the latest version. Especially before submitting
+  bug reports.
+* Run mergerfs as `root`. mergerfs is designed and intended to be run
+  as `root` and may exhibit incorrect behavior if run otherwise.
+* If you do not see some directories and files you expect, policies
+  seem to skip branches, you get strange permission errors, etc. be
+  sure the underlying filesystems' permissions are all the same. Use
+  `mergerfs.fsck` to audit the filesystem for out of sync permissions.
+* If you still have permission issues be sure you are using POSIX ACL
+  compliant filesystems. mergerfs doesn't generally make exceptions
+  for FAT, NTFS, or other non-POSIX filesystem.
+* Unless using Linux v6.6 or above do **not** use `cache.files=off` if
+  you expect applications (such as rtorrent) to use
+  [mmap](http://linux.die.net/man/2/mmap). Enabling `dropcacheonclose`
+  is recommended when `cache.files=auto-full`.
+* [Kodi](http://kodi.tv), [Plex](http://plex.tv),
+  [Subsonic](http://subsonic.org), etc. can use directory
+  [mtime](http://linux.die.net/man/2/stat) to more efficiently
+  determine whether to scan for new content rather than simply
+  performing a full scan. If using the default `getattr` policy of
+  `ff` it's possible those programs will miss an update on account of
+  it returning the first directory found's `stat` info and it is a
+  later directory on another mount which had the `mtime` recently
+  updated. To fix this you will want to set
+  `func.getattr=newest`. Remember though that this is just `stat`. If
+  the file is later `open`'ed or `unlink`'ed and the policy is
+  different for those then a completely different file or directory
+  could be acted on.
+* Some policies mixed with some functions may result in strange
+  behaviors. Not that some of these behaviors and race conditions
+  couldn't happen outside mergerfs but that they are far more
+  likely to occur on account of the attempt to merge multiple sources
+  of data which could be out of sync due to the different policies.
+* For consistency it's generally best to set `category` wide policies
+  rather than individual `func`'s. This will help limit the
+  confusion of tools such as
+  [rsync](http://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync). However, the flexibility
+  is there if needed.

+# Tooling
+
+## preload.so
+
+EXPERIMENTAL
+
+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.) In Linux v6.9 that feature made its way into the kernel
+however in a somewhat limited form which is incompatible with aspects
+of how mergerfs currently functions. While work will continue to
+support passthrough IO in mergerfs this library was created to offer
+similar functionality in a more limited way.
+
+`/usr/lib/mergerfs/preload.so`
+
+This [preloadable
+library](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ld.so.8.html#ENVIRONMENT)
+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 `moveonenospc`, will no longer work.
+
+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.
+
+The library will not interfere with non-mergerfs filesystems. The
+library is written to always fallback to returning the mergerfs opened
+file on error.
+
+While the library was written to account for a number of edgecases
+there could be some yet accounted for so please report any oddities.
+
+Thank you to
+[nohajc](https://github.com/nohajc/mergerfs-io-passthrough) for
+prototyping the idea.

+
+
+### Docker and Podman usage
+
+Assume `/mnt/fs0` and `/mnt/fs1` are pooled with mergerfs at `/media`.
+
+All mergerfs branch paths _must_ be bind mounted into the container at
+the same path as found on the host so the preload library can see
+them.
+
+**NOTE:** Since a container can have its own OS setup there is no
+guarentee that `preload.so` from the host install will be compatible
+with the loader found in the container. If that is true it simply
+won't work and shouldn't cause any issues.
+
+
+```sh
+docker run \
+  -e LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/mergerfs/preload.so \

+# Usage Patterns
+
+## tiered cache
+
+Some storage technologies support what is called "tiered" caching. The
+placing of smaller, faster storage as a transparent cache to larger,
+slower storage. NVMe, SSD, Optane in front of traditional HDDs for
+instance.
+
+mergerfs does not natively support any sort of tiered caching. Most
+users have no use for such a feature and its inclusion would
+complicate the code as it exists today. However, there are a few
+situations where a cache filesystem could help with a typical mergerfs
+setup.
+
+1.  Fast network, slow filesystems, many readers: You've a 10+Gbps
+    network with many readers and your regular filesystems can't keep
+    up.
+2.  Fast network, slow filesystems, small'ish bursty writes: You have
+    a 10+Gbps network and wish to transfer amounts of data less than
+    your cache filesystem but wish to do so quickly and the time
+    between bursts is long enough to migrate data.
+
+With #1 it's arguable if you should be using mergerfs at all. A RAID
+level that can aggregate performance or using higher performance
+storage would probably be the better solution. If you're going to use
+mergerfs there are other tactics that may help: spreading the data
+across filesystems (see the mergerfs.dup tool) and setting
+`func.open=rand`, using `symlinkify`, or using dm-cache or a similar
+technology to add tiered cache to the underlying device itself.
+
+With #2 one could use dm-cache as well but there is another solution
+which requires only mergerfs and a cronjob.
+
+1.  Create 2 mergerfs pools. One which includes just the slow branches
+    and one which has both the fast branches (SSD,NVME,etc.) and slow
+    branches. The 'base' pool and the 'cache' pool.
+2.  The 'cache' pool should have the cache branches listed first in
+    the branch list.
+3.  The best `create` policies to use for the 'cache' pool would
+    probably be `ff`, `epff`, `lfs`, `msplfs`, or `eplfs`. The latter
+    three under the assumption that the cache filesystem(s) are far
+    smaller than the backing filesystems. If using path preserving
+    policies remember that you'll need to manually create the core
+    directories of those paths you wish to be cached. Be sure the
+    permissions are in sync. Use `mergerfs.fsck` to check / correct
+    them. You could also set the slow filesystems mode to `NC` though
+    that'd mean if the cache filesystems fill you'd get "out of space"
+    errors.
+4.  Enable `moveonenospc` and set `minfreespace` appropriately. To
+    make sure there is enough room on the "slow" pool you might want
+    to set `minfreespace` to at least as large as the size of the
+    largest cache filesystem if not larger. This way in the worst case
+    the whole of the cache filesystem(s) can be moved to the other
+    drives.
+5.  Set your programs to use the 'cache' pool.
+6.  Save one of the below scripts or create you're own. The script's
+    responsibility is to move files from the cache filesystems (not
+    pool) to the 'base' pool.
+7.  Use `cron` (as root) to schedule the command at whatever frequency
+    is appropriate for your workflow.
+
+
+### time based expiring
+
+Move files from cache to base pool based only on the last time the
+file was accessed. Replace `-atime` with `-amin` if you want minutes
+rather than days. May want to use the `fadvise` / `--drop-cache`
+version of rsync or run rsync with the tool
+[nocache](https://github.com/Feh/nocache).
+
+**NOTE:** The arguments to these scripts include the cache
+**filesystem** itself. Not the pool with the cache filesystem. You
+could have data loss if the source is the cache pool.
+
+[mergerfs.time-based-mover](https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs/blob/latest-release/tools/mergerfs.time-based-mover?raw=1)
+
+
+### percentage full expiring
+
+Move the oldest file from the cache to the backing pool. Continue till
+below percentage threshold.
+
+**NOTE:** The arguments to these scripts include the cache
+**filesystem** itself. Not the pool with the cache filesystem. You
+could have data loss if the source is the cache pool.
