Description

would be nice to list the hashes stored locally under /ipfs with special (well known) directories:

  • /ipfs/pinned for all hashes pinned locally
  • /ipfs/cached for all hashes available locally, and not pinned.
  • /ipfs/local all hashes available locally (pinned U cached)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current FUSE implementation in the kubo repository, specifically how /ipfs directory is mounted and how pinned and cached objects are tracked. Then design a solution to add virtual directories like /ipfs/pinned, /ipfs/cached, and /ipfs/local that list hashes accordingly.
