Gcsfuse need to sync 1 way, from local to GCS or from GCS to local only

[yogi0421]

Hi All,

I had some question about gcsfuse, in my case I want to create sync folder from local(local, instance VM, or another persistent
storage), but I want to sync 1 way(from local to GCS) or from GCS to local, not 2 way sync. Any suggestion with my case, configuration I need to apply?

Thank you,

Yogi

If you are going to sync from GCS to local and not going to make any writes, then you can use read only mount by passing -o r
But for syncing from local to GCS or GCS to local with writes, use a regular mount (readwrite mount).

Either way you need to use implicit-dirs flag if your use-case falls as mentioned here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/master/docs/semantics.md#implicit-directories

More details about what flags to use while mounting is mentioned here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/master/docs/semantics.md
