Research direction
To implement a CephFS backend, first study how existing backends like S3 and Swift are structured in the rclone backend package. Explore the go ceph library (https://github.com/ceph/go ceph) for file system operations. Note that change notifications are blocked on an upstream issue (https://github.com/ceph/go ceph/issues/478); consider implementing a basic backend that does not rely on change notifications. Review the comment history on this issue for any additional context or guidance from maintainers.
