Cloud Storage FUSE

Cloud Storage FUSE is a POSIX file-system adapter over Cloud Storage on Google Cloud, operated via the gcsfuse CLI tool. Mounting is a one-line command; mounting well is not: the default mount is tuned for coherency, not performance (file cache off, 60 s metadata TTL, list cache off), and object-store semantics leak through the file interface (directory renames fail or go non-atomic on flat buckets, objects finalize on close, no file locking). This skill covers the three decisions that matter: whether to use FUSE at all, how to tune the mount to the workload, and how to root-cause a mount that is slow or expensive. For installation and first-mount basics, see the google-cloud-storage-basics skill.
