Show HN: Ratarmount 1.0.0 – Rapid access to large archives via a FUSE filesystem
Access large archives as a filesystem efficiently, e.g., TAR, RAR, ZIP, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ZSTD archives - mxmlnkn/ratarmount
Many Others as provided by libarchive via python-libarchive-c. Formats with tests: 7z, ar, cab, compress, cpio, iso, lrzip, lzma, lz4, lzip, lzo, warc, xar. Getting a lot of metadata for archive contents as demonstrated by calling find on the mount point is an order of magnitude slower compared to archivemount. Mounting the 6.5GB ImageNet Large-Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2012 validation data set, and then testing the speed with: time cat mounted/ILSVRC2012_val_00049975.JPEG | wc -c takes 250ms for archivemount and 2ms for ratarmount.
