Nice!

Adjacent question: lately I’ve been seeing people implement NFS base filesystems since that is a more widely supported protocol. I think rclone does this for Mac. Is there a guide, or even a comparison, for this approach?

Fun fact: Now that recent macOS versions require you to disable security features to install macFUSE, there’s the awesome fuse-t. It works as a drop-in replacement, doesn’t need the kext and will open up an NFS server in the background and mount that using macOS features. Performance is pretty good, too.

Rust sample: https://github.com/xetdata/nfsserve

At least as far as Rust is concerned I preferred dealing with FUSE because I didn't have to wrestle with async (or NFS mounts).

xetdata is retired and recently became part of hugging face. I wonder if nfsserve will be still supported.

Are there other recommended NFS server codebases?
