Mergerfs

Homepage: https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs

mergerfs is a union filesystem geared towards simplifying storage and management of files across numerous commodity storage devices. It is similar to mhddfs, unionfs, and aufs.

Usage​

Set mergerfs_enabled: true in your inventories/<your_inventory>/group_vars/nas.yml file. Set mergerfs_branches to the list of paths you want to merge and mergerfs_mount the the resulting merged mount.

This basic setting will create and enable mergerfs systemd service.

For more advanced usage, if you have Rclone installed and rclone_mount_enabled, the role will create a service that will merge mergerfs_rclone_local_mount and your rclone_mount (so your mounted remote) together. This can be further augumented by cloud_upload (TBD) scripts that would periodically sync your mergerfs_rclone_local_path to your rclone remote.
