They've used google-drive-ocamlfuse to mount the drive in Linux, which if I recall correctly is direct access, rather than the way it works in Windows

No they didn't. They used rclone and mounted Google drive in vfs-cach mode which means it's firstly written to the drive before it's synced to the cloud

My mistake, they chose a different implementation

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

So, if they did use a direct storage mode connection instead of this cache method with a Gbit+ Internet connection, do you think it would be faster than swap on an HDD?

[-] hexeth@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I can't imagine a time when anyone would ever make a cloud swap drive. You want the swap to be as fast as possible

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

No. It also has to be written to GDrive's storage

It makes sense that you can do this, as it's how Chromebooks work, and they run on ~~Chrome OS~~ ~~Android~~ Linux
