Hi - I'm trying to connect a VM instance to a GCS bucket using these instructions:

The gcsfuse command to mount the bucket fails saying OpenBucket: Unknown bucket "gs://mybucket"

Although, if I type "gsutil ls -r gs://" at the prompt, I definitely see mybucket.

My VM is running Ubuntu 14.04.5

It is likely an obvious problem, but I am relatively new to GCP.

Thanks for any advice,

Greg

Hello Greg,

The syntax of the command is:

gcsfuse [BUCKET_NAME] /mnt/gcs-bucket

Don't use gs:// front of the bucket name. Example:

gcsfuse mybucket /mnt/gcs-bucket

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Greg
