Thanks, that's definitely an interesting option that didn't come
to my mind.

Based on my previous experience with FUSE a couple of years ago,
I'm actually more concerned about the reliability of this solution.
In my case I'm looking at some 1800 files, for a total of 3.4 GB,
of which about 300 MB will change weekly. Is this a workload FUSE
could be trusted with nowadays or am I likely to run into issues
in the long term?
