It seems we might not need it after all — at least not for users with an rclone repository.
Kopia was the last application on my machine that relied on macFUSE. So, I was interested to see if I could get it working with fuse-t and remove macFUSE entirely.
As it turns out, rclone works quite well with fuse-t. Instead of mounting a repository with Kopia and macFUSE, users can mount it using rclone and then connect to it with Kopia as if it were a new repository.
This approach should improve performance. Not only because fuse-t performs better but also because it aligns with the recommended method for rclone repos:
If fuse-t support is ever implemented in Kopia, it would benefit more users with non-rclone backend. And users with rclone repositories should use the method described above without waiting for a fuse-t implementation.
Please let me know if I’ve misunderstood anything or gotten something wrong.
