Description

It would be really convenient if you could mount multiple archives to the same folder.
I use dwarfs to compress warc's and because they are quite large and take a long time to compress, decompressing and recompressing them is not really an option. So i create a new archive every few weeks, i then mount each of them to their own folder and then use mergerfs to mount all of them to a single folder. This is really impractical and it would be great to see this feature implemented into the program.
