catfs always runs in foreground

[ba1dr]

./catfs /mnt/gsdata /tmp/catfsdata /mnt/data

Hangs in foreground, but works (mounted folder exists)

Version: downloaded as 0.8.0, reported 0.7.0 (see #12 )

Caching folder from mounted goofys S3 folder.

How to run it in background?

@ba1dr can you share more about your environment? In my testing catfs runs in the background by default but with -f runs in the foreground. It might be worth setting RUST_LOG=debug to see what is going on.

Sorry, this was reported almost 2 years ago. I have no access to that environment right now. I barely can remember details. It may worth closing this issue if noone else met such behaviour.

I get this as well. Debian 10, clean Rust environment, catfs-0.8.0.crate

Here's the output of the debug log:

I see the same behavior and debug logs as @goncalopp on Ubuntu 18.04 after downloading the 0.8.0 release. Any other debug info I can gather that would be helpful?

Same issue for me building 0.8.0 on Amazon Linux 2, trying to cache an s3 bucket mounted via goofys.

It works (if I start catfs in its own terminal and use another terminal to browse the cached path) but catfs seems to always run in the foreground...
