# TIPS / NOTES
* Run mergerfs as `root` unless you're merging paths which are owned by the same user otherwise strange permission issues may arise.
* https://github.com/trapexit/backup-and-recovery-howtos : A set of guides / howtos on creating a data storage system, backing it up, maintaining it, and recovering from failure.
* If you don't see some directories / files you expect in a merged point be sure the user has permission to all the underlying directories. If `/drive0/a` has is owned by `root:root` with ACLs set to `0700` and `/drive1/a` is `root:root` and `0755` you'll see only `/drive1/a`. Use `mergerfs.fsck` to audit the drive for out of sync permissions.
* Do *not* use `direct_io` if you expect applications (such as rtorrent) to [mmap](http://linux.die.net/man/2/mmap) files. It is not currently supported in FUSE w/ `direct_io` enabled.
