I’m very interested in this as a backing disk for SQLite/DuckDB/parquet, but I really want my cached reads to come straight from instance-local NVMe storage, and to have a way to “pin” and “unpin” some subdirectories from local cache.

Why local storage? We’re going to have multiple processes reading & writing to the files and need locking & shared memory semantics you can’t get w/ NFS. I could implement pin/unpin myself in user space by copying stuff between /mnt/magic-nfs and /mnt/instance-nvme but at that point I’d just use S3 myself.

Any thoughts about providing a custom file system or how to assemble this out of parts on top of the NFS mount?
