I want to mount some B2 buckets on Linux for read/write access. What do people recommend?

s3fs, rclone or GeeseFS seem to be the sensible choices, but please share your hard-won opinions with me.

edit: or goofys?

But the thing is: B2 is cheap for storage, but retrieval and traversal are very expensive. And if that happens transparently on the filesystem (because you accidentally run grep or the service in question regularly hashes the files or something), you would implicitly download everything stored. And IIRC retrieval costs ten times the storage costs... each time.)

This is no longer the case. Starting in October egress is free up to 3x the volume stored with them.

Backblaze recently revised B2 storage, it's gone up by $1 and they offer free egress equal to I believe 2x or 3x the data you have stored with them. Let me try find a link to this...
