      mergerfs in the kernel would be cool for better performance.

      for those that don’t know, it’s a FUSE based filesystem, which is also cool, but can be slow at times.

        Weirdly enough because of the way mergerfs does writes across multiple drives, the main issue that FUSE filesystems face performance wise (namely writing a bunch of small files and their metadata) actually gets pretty well mitigated.
