# MarkBase FUSE Phase 2 Implementation Status ## Current Status (2026-05-17) ### Completed 1. **FUSE-T Installation** ✅ - Binary: `/Library/Application Support/fuse-t/bin/go-nfsv4-1.2.6` (20MB) - Backend support: nfs, fskit, smb - Installation verified via `sudo installer` 2. **FileSystem Trait Implementation** ✅ - File: `src/fuse/markbase_fs.rs` (370 lines) - Implemented methods: - `init()` - Initialize filesystem - `lookup()` - Find file by name in parent directory - `getattr()` - Get file attributes (stat64) - `opendir()` - Open directory for reading - `readdir()` - List directory contents - `releasedir()` - Close directory - `open()` - Open file for reading - `read()` - Read file content (using ZeroCopyWriter) - `release()` - Close file - `statfs()` - Filesystem statistics 3. **SQLite Backend Integration** ✅ - Database: `data/users/warren.sqlite` (12MB, 12659 nodes) - Tables used: - `file_nodes` - node_id, label, node_type, file_size, parent_id - `file_locations` - file_uuid, location - UUID-to-Inode mapping: First 8 bytes of UUID → u64 inode 4. **Compilation Success** ✅ - 11 FUSE tests passed - Zero warnings in fuse module - Type conversions fixed (rusqlite::Error → io::Error) ### Next Steps (Phase 2) #### Step 1: Real Mount Implementation **Current Placeholder:** ```rust pub fn mount(&self, mount_path: &Path) -> Result<()> { println!("=== Mounting MarkBase FUSE ==="); println!("User: {}", self.user_id); println!("Database: {}", self.db_path.display()); println!("Backend: {}", self.backend.name()); println!("Mount path: {}", mount_path.display()); Ok(()) } ``` **Required Implementation:** ```rust use fuse_backend_rs::transport::{FuseSession, FuseChannel}; use fuse_backend_rs::api::server::Server; pub fn mount(&self, mount_path: &Path) -> Result<()> { // 1. Create FUSE session let session = FuseSession::new(mount_path, "MarkBase", "", false)?; // 2. Mount filesystem session.mount()?; // 3. Create server with filesystem let server = Server::new(Arc::new(self.clone())); // 4. Spawn thread to handle requests thread::spawn(|| { let channel = session.new_channel()?; server.svc_loop(channel)?; Ok(()) }); Ok(()) } ``` #### Step 2: Backend Selection **go-nfsv4 Binary Usage:** ```bash # FSKit backend (macOS 26+, fastest) /Library/Application Support/fuse-t/bin/go-nfsv4 \ --backend fskit \ --volname "MarkBase_warren" \ --rwsize 65536 \ --attrcache \ --noatime # NFSv4 backend (all macOS versions) /Library/Application Support/fuse-t/bin/go-nfsv4 \ --backend nfs \ --listen_addr 127.0.0.1 \ --volname "MarkBase_warren" ``` **Backend Auto-Selection Logic:** - macOS 26+ → FSKit (direct path, ~650MB/s) - macOS <26 → NFSv4 (TCP/IP, ~550MB/s) #### Step 3: Warren User Test (12659 nodes) **Test Plan:** 1. Mount warren filesystem: ```bash cargo run -- fuse --mount --user warren --dir /Volumes/MarkBase_warren ``` 2. Verify mount: ```bash ls -la /Volumes/MarkBase_warren/ ls -la /Volumes/MarkBase_warren/Home/ ``` 3. Count nodes: ```bash find /Volumes/MarkBase_warren -type f | wc -l # Expected: 11857 files find /Volumes/MarkBase_warren -type d | wc -l # Expected: 802 folders ``` 4. Read test: ```bash cat /Volumes/MarkBase_warren/Home/.../test_file.txt ``` #### Step 4: Performance Validation **AJA System Test (600MB/s target):** 1. Download AJA System Test: https://www.aja.com/en/products/aja-system-test 2. Install: ```bash hdiutil attach ~/Downloads/AJA_System_Test.dmg cp -R /Volumes/AJA\ System\ Test/*.app /Applications/ hdiutil detach /Volumes/AJA\ System\ Test ``` 3. Run 4K ProRes 4444 test: - Target: 600MB/s sustained write - Test file: `/Volumes/MarkBase_warren/test_4k_prores.mov` - Duration: 60 seconds ### Implementation Notes **Challenges:** 1. **ZeroCopyWriter Integration** - read() method uses complex writer trait - Current implementation: `w.write_all(&buffer[..bytes_read])` - Optimization: Direct file copy to writer without intermediate buffer 2. **UUID Padding** - ino_to_uuid() truncates to 8 bytes - Issue: Full UUID is 32 chars, inode only stores 8 bytes - Solution: Use first 8 bytes for lookup, fallback to aliases_json 3. **Thread Safety** - MarkBaseFs needs Arc for concurrent access - Current: No locking (single-threaded placeholder) - Required: Arc> for multi-threaded FUSE server 4. **Backend Binary Path** - go-nfsv4 is symlink - Actual: `/Library/Application Support/fuse-t/bin/go-nfsv4-1.2.6` - Symlink: `/Library/Application Support/fuse-t/bin/go-nfsv4` **Key Learnings:** - FUSE-T uses go-nfsv4 as unified binary (NFSv4/FSKit/SMB3) - fuse-backend-rs provides FuseSession for mount management - ZeroCopyWriter is required for read/write operations - stat64 is libc::stat on macOS (not fuse_abi::stat64) ### Estimated Timeline - **Day 1-2**: Mount implementation + backend integration - **Day 3-4**: Warren user test + node verification - **Day 5-7**: AJA System Test + performance optimization - **Day 8-10**: Multi-user concurrent mount (10 users) - **Day 11-12**: Final validation + documentation --- **Last Updated:** 2026-05-17 11:00 **Phase:** 2 - Real Mount Implementation **Status:** FileSystem trait ✅, Mount function ⏳
