Re: [Astlinux-devel] AstLinux Pre-Release with S3 object storage support (s3fs)

[David K. <da...@ke...>]

Is there any local caching of files and/or directory structure?  And any
offline support?  I'm just wondering if someone uses this for file(s) that
may be accessed during system boot... what happens if either the network
link is down, or it takes a long time to establish an initial connection.
Or is this just something that we shouldn't do?

David.
