New issue 301 by pauldale...@gmail.com: Mount seems to work but no files in
folder, no log entries and cannot write to mount
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=301

Detailed description of observed behavior:

Sudo su

Set up s3fs follow a number of instructions but these were the latest
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/wiki/FuseOverAmazon

Set up /etc/passwd-s3fs using AccessKey:SecretKey using IAM with complete
access to S3

Uncommented “user_allow_other” from /etc/fuse.conf

Create folder /mnt/s3

Run command /usr/bin/s3fs -ohost=http://s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/
-oallow_other -ouse_cache=/tmp <bucket> /mnt/s3 (replacing <bucket> with my
bucket name)

Get no errors.

Go to folder /mnt/s3 and dir: it's empty, although the bucket has a txt
file in it as a tester.

Try to create new file in mount folder and get "cannot open file for
writing" when trying to save.

Have tried a variety of different instructions from different blogs
detailing how to set up, but result is always the same: mount folder is
empty and I can't create files to it.

Sorry - didn't notice this was tagged as a defect: I'm fairly certain the
defect is me.

Looks like it might be a combination of things: I'd set up a global
password file in /etc which allowed the bucket to mount, but when I tried
to access the bucket s3fs wasn't using the passwd-s3fs to grant access to
it. Giving an individual .passwd-s3fs in ~/ allows access, but it still
seems to be getting confused by the bucket living in Europe rather than the
default US. If I try to mount using the ~/.passwd to Europe it says the
credentials don't match, but if I create a standard bucket in the US I can
mount and connect with no problem.

And we have it. User error: the folder system had been rsynced in from
another computer and I hadn't changed the ownership: everything was owned
by a user that didn't exist on the server, so the only way to create files
or folders was to sudo. Can't see how to close an issue, but this is
resolved.

Hi

(This issue is old, I'm sorry for replying too late)

For this issue, please use allow_other option, and connect to correct
server(your bucket in region).
And please try to use latest version(now v1.69).

If you have a trouble yet, please let me know.
(I'll close this issue, if I don't get your reply.)

Thanks in advance for your help.
