2 Questions.
1) When you say it doesnt poll local folder and remotes for changes, does it still pickup files added to the merged folder instantly? My current set up means I only ever add to the mount_mergerfs folder, so could I use union for this case?
2) What are the advantages of using union over Mergerfs? I notice you say quicker load times but is that all? my current times dont seem too bad.
EDIT:
I tested it myself and got 1 to work, so for my use case this seems fine.
As a bonus question then will you modify a version of your scripts for union?
I tried a hardlink too in filebot and it came back with "Function not implemented"
