hey folks,
Is anyone here using Fuse-T to mount rclone SMB remotes on macOS 26? I'd like to know if it's stable. Since MacFuse had many permission issues in Tahoe, Fuse-T has been my go-to option and so far it's working well.
Thanks,
welcome to the forum,
hey @kapitainsky?
IMO it is stable. Only “problem“ from my experience is that it always creates AppleDouble files and I could not find a way to disable it.
Other option you can try is rclone nfsmount - home brewed solution also using NFS server (like fuse-t). Does not require any extra programs to be installed.
Many thanks, @kapitainsky .
May I ask what your workflow is with rclone mount and Fuse?
I have many rclone users mounting a Truenas SMB, either on Windows with WinFsp or macOS with MacFuse or Fuse-T for Tahoe. I have very few problems; rclone seems to be a very stable tool for this kind of connection and traffic of very heavy files, videos, and even using full cache. The performance is always very good.
My concern was Fuse-T, as there are many negative reviews about it.
Why to use rclone for that? Native SMB works flawlessly in both Windows and macOS (at least for me). And SMB implementation rclone uses is not really state of the art…
I only use rclone mount when it is not possible to access data in other ways. For example when it is needed to use software which only can operate on “local“ files. But would always prefer native SMB or NFS when available.
For caching.
When the connection between client and server isn't fast enough to directly play video files, caching is the best approach, whether it's on a LAN or WAN.
