FUSE mount Mutable File System (MFS)

[vorburger]

It could be neat if ipfs mount would FUSE the Mutable File System (MFS), e.g. on /ipmfs(in addition to /ipfs & /ipns), as an alternative to having to use the ipfs files CLI.

E.g. https://github.com/piedar/js-ipfs-mount or https://github.com/jfmherokiller/ipfs-mfs-fuse appear to have dabbled in this space in the past from what I could tell from a bit of quick research. But I couldn't find any existing issue specifically about this goal in core, so hope you don't mind that I'm adding this to the roadmap here, for high-level tracking. I'm sure it needs to be further broken down into finer grained requirements; I'll tag a number of issues that seem related which I've found while searching.

This could subsequently perhaps be a foundation e.g. for an Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) implementation backed by IPFS.

I thought about this while dreaming on https://github.com/vorburger/LearningLinux/blob/develop/docs/roadmap/readme.md

Any progress on this? I imagine it depends on the related problem of writable mounting?
