aisfs problems

[tmbdev]

I can't get aisfs to work.

• it does not seem to respect configuration files in $HOME/.config/ais/bucket.aisfs.mount.json
• there is now way of telling what configuration file it is actually loading
• it ignores AIS_ENDPOINT

I would suggest the following:

• aisfs should use the same defaults that are configured for ais (including ~/.config/ais and environment variables)
• with those defaults, aisfs bucket dir should just work
• there should be a -v option that logs the operations (reading config file, contacting server, mounting, etc.) to stderr
• there should be a --configfile option that lets users provide a config file on the command line

I'd also suggest adding actual subcommands:

• aisfs mount bucket dir
• aisfs umount dir
• aisfs stats dir
• ais config -- displays current config, including where loaded

But still, aisfs is purely experimental and currently, I have no plans to productize it. Closing the ticket.
