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
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Some systems provide pre-built packages:
|
|
|
|
* On Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 or newer:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install s3fs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* On Mac OS X, install via [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/):
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
$ brew cask install osxfuse
|
|
$ brew install s3fs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Compilation
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* On Linux, ensure you have all the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 14.04:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install automake autotools-dev fuse g++ git libcurl4-openssl-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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then 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
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The default location for the s3fs password file can be created:
|
|
|
|
* using a .passwd-s3fs file in the users home directory (i.e. ~/.passwd-s3fs)
|
|
* using the system-wide /etc/passwd-s3fs file
|
|
|
|
Enter your S3 identity and credential in a file `~/.passwd-s3fs` and set
|
|
owner-only permissions:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo MYIDENTITY:MYCREDENTIAL > ~/.passwd-s3fs
|
|
chmod 600 ~/.passwd-s3fs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run s3fs with an existing bucket `mybucket` and directory `/path/to/mountpoint`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you encounter any errors, enable debug output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs -o dbglevel=info -f -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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you use s3fs with a non-Amazon S3 implementation, specify the URL and path-style requests:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs -o url=http://url.to.s3/ -o use_path_request_style
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or(fstab)
|
|
```
|
|
s3fs#mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=http://url.to.s3/ 0 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use IBM IAM Authentication, use the `-o ibm_iam_auth` option, and specify the Service Instance ID and API Key in your credentials file:
|
|
```
|
|
echo SERVICEINSTANCEID:APIKEY > /path/to/passwd
|
|
```
|
|
The Service Instance ID is only required when using the `-o create_bucket` option.
|
|
|
|
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([Amazon S3 Data Consistency Model](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Introduction.html#ConsistencyModel))
|
|
* no atomic renames of files or directories
|
|
* no coordination between multiple clients mounting the same bucket
|
|
* no hard links
|
