Description Marcin Mirosław 2016-07-04 08:13:13 UTC
mergerfs is a union filesystem geared towards simplifing storage and management of files across numerous commodity storage devices. It is similar to mhddfs, unionfs, and aufs. But doesn't need patching kernel.

Reproducible: Always

I'm sorry but this package is too horrible to be included into Gentoo.  Patched libfuse is not something we want to take responsibility over.  Feel free to reopen once it is possible to build this against *unpatched* system libfuse.
