Feature #20668

Updated by Peter Amstutz over 1 year ago

Extremely speculative. 

 To provide high performance remote file system service to Windows, we could implement a bridge that supports SMB file shares. 

 SMB is notoriously complicated.    We do not have the resources to write a whole SMB stack.    Ideally, we'd like to connect an SMB protocol implementation to our golang filesystem interface (used by keep-web). 

 There is this project, which states it is incomplete and not updated for several years:

 A better Another option that might be more realistic would be to create a plugin for Samba.    It has a VFS layer:

 We can use Go to build shared objects that are callable from C:

 The complexity would probably be comparable to what we've done before with the FUSE mount.
