Proposal to show uncached files as simlinks with fuse #65

Closed evgmik closed 3 years ago

evgmik commented 3 years ago

When we do fuse mount with -o (offline) option.

  1. Let's assign file mode as symlink to uncashed files. This way when someone asks for a listing, there will be nice visual (red font with colored list command) to remind that this file is uncached.

  2. We might even show a link to the missing ipfs hash.

Item 2 is some extra work, but item 1 is easy. I already have a draft for it.

@sahib what do you think?

Yes, this sounds good to me. :+1:
