Worked on the juicedata/juicefs repository to enhance the reliability of directory listings by addressing a cache consistency issue in the FUSE layer. Focused on system programming and file system development using Go, the work involved disabling the readdir-cache for special inodes such as .trash to prevent stale data from appearing in directory listings. This targeted bug fix aligned with the project’s cache invalidation strategy, reducing user-visible inconsistencies and minimizing support escalations. The solution was delivered as a focused patch with minimal code changes, improving cache correctness for special nodes while maintaining a safe foundation for future cache strategy improvements.
