s3fs
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
s3fs allows Linux and Mac OS X to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE.
|
|
s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like [s3cmd](http://s3tools.org/s3cmd).

Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* large subset of POSIX including reading/writing files, directories, symlinks, mode, uid/gid, and extended attributes
|
|
* compatible with Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and other S3-based object stores
|
|
* large files via multi-part upload
|
|
* renames via server-side copy
|
|
* optional server-side encryption
|
|
* data integrity via MD5 hashes
|
|
* in-memory metadata caching
|
|
* local disk data caching
|
|
* user-specified regions, including Amazon GovCloud
|
|
* authenticate via v2 or v4 signatures
|

|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Ensure you have all the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 14.04:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install automake autotools-dev g++ git libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfuse-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev make pkg-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On CentOS 7:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo yum install automake fuse fuse-devel gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel libxml2-devel make openssl-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Compile from master via the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse.git
|
|
cd s3fs-fuse
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Enter your S3 identity and credential in a file `/path/to/passwd`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo MYIDENTITY:MYCREDENTIAL > /path/to/passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure the file has proper permissions (if you get 'permissions' error when mounting) `/path/to/passwd`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
chmod 600 /path/to/passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run s3fs with an existing bucket `mybucket` and directory `/path/to/mountpoint`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=/path/to/passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you encounter any errors, enable debug output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=/path/to/passwd -d -d -f -o f2 -o curldbg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also mount on boot by entering the following line to `/etc/fstab`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs#mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse _netdev,allow_other 0 0
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse.s3fs _netdev,allow_other 0 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: You may also want to create the global credential file first
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo MYIDENTITY:MYCREDENTIAL > /etc/passwd-s3fs
|
|
chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note2: You may also need to make sure `netfs` service is start on boot

Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Generally S3 cannot offer the same performance or semantics as a local file system. More specifically:
|
|
|
|
* random writes or appends to files require rewriting the entire file
|
|
* metadata operations such as listing directories have poor performance due to network latency
|
|
* [eventual consistency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency) can temporarily yield stale data
|
|
* no atomic renames of files or directories
|
|
* no coordination between multiple clients mounting the same bucket
|
|
* no hard links
