AWS s3fs Utility Mounting a S3 bucket

Question

I have s3fs utility to mount an S3 bucket on an EC2 instance.

With some efforts I was possible mounting the S3 bucket.

However these are some of my concerns

1. do I need to make any entry to the fstab, when I mount a S3 bucket on EC2 instance.
2. I can see the files and folders in the mount device like /s3mnt but I am unable to see the contents on the S3 bucket when I mount a S3 bucket on EC2 instance. Does the content disappear from the bucket??

Answer 1

Try automatically mounting the S3 bucket when the server boots by adding an entry to /etc/fstab using the following syntax:

s3fs#bucket-name /s3mnt fuse allow_other,_netdev,nosuid,nodev,url=https://s3.amazonaws.com 0
