Thank you for rclone.
replyIn your opinion, is WebDAV good enough to be the protocol for exposing file systems over HTTP, or is there room for something better? I was bullish on Solid but they don't seem to be making much progress.
I wonder how you would compare it to nfs (which I believe can be TCP based, and probably encrypted)
replyNot that it is a good comparison. NFS isn't super popular, macos can do it, I don't think windows can. But both windows and macos can do webdav.
NFS is much slower, maybe unless you deploy it which RDMA. I believe even 4.2 doesn’t really support asynchronous calls or has some significant limitations around them - I’ve commonly seen a single large write of a few gigs starve all other operations including lstat for minutes.
replyAlso it’s borderline impossible to tune nfs to go above 30gbps or so consistently, with WebDAV it’s a matter of adding a bunch more streams and you’re past 200gbps pretty easily.

replyMy experience with NFS is its not very fast, compared to SMB or WebDAV
