Previously xmlFree only freed the top-level allocation and not the entire linked list. Multiple namespaces should be rare but perhaps some S3 implementations have both a global and local namespace. The xmlFree(void*) prototype hid the type mismatch. |

s3fs
s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE(Filesystem in Userspace).
s3fs makes you operate files and directories in S3 bucket like a local file system.
s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI.
Features
- large subset of POSIX including reading/writing files, directories, symlinks, mode, uid/gid, and extended attributes
- compatible with Amazon S3, and other S3-based object stores
- allows random writes and appends
- 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
Many systems provide pre-built packages:
-
Amazon Linux via EPEL:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel sudo yum install s3fs-fuse
-
Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S s3fs-fuse
-
Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 or newer:
sudo apt install s3fs
-
Fedora 27 or newer:
sudo dnf install s3fs-fuse
-
Gentoo:
sudo emerge net-fs/s3fs
-
RHEL and CentOS 7 or newer via EPEL:
sudo yum install epel-release sudo yum install s3fs-fuse
-
SUSE 12 and openSUSE 42.1 or newer:
sudo zypper install s3fs
-
macOS 10.12 and newer via Homebrew:
brew install --cask macfuse brew install gromgit/fuse/s3fs-mac
-
FreeBSD:
pkg install fusefs-s3fs
-
Windows:
Windows has its own install, seening in this link
Otherwise consult the compilation instructions.
Examples
s3fs supports the standard
AWS credentials file
stored in ${HOME}/.aws/credentials
. Alternatively, s3fs supports a custom passwd file.
Finally s3fs recognizes the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
, and AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
environment variables.
The default location for the s3fs password file can be created:
- using a
.passwd-s3fs
file in the users home directory (i.e.${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
) - using the system-wide
/etc/passwd-s3fs
file
Enter your credentials in a file ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
and set
owner-only permissions:
echo ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY > ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
chmod 600 ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
Run s3fs with an existing bucket mybucket
and directory /path/to/mountpoint
:
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
If you encounter any errors, enable debug output:
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs -o dbglevel=info -f -o curldbg
You can also mount on boot by entering the following line to /etc/fstab
:
mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse.s3fs _netdev,allow_other 0 0
If you use s3fs with a non-Amazon S3 implementation, specify the URL and path-style requests:
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs -o url=https://url.to.s3/ -o use_path_request_style
or(fstab)
mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse.s3fs _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=https://url.to.s3/ 0 0
Note: You may also want to create the global credential file first
echo ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY > /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 object, optimized with multi-part upload copy
- metadata operations such as listing directories have poor performance due to network latency
- non-AWS providers may have eventual consistency so reads can temporarily yield stale data (AWS offers read-after-write consistency since Dec 2020)
- no atomic renames of files or directories
- no coordination between multiple clients mounting the same bucket
- no hard links
- inotify detects only local modifications, not external ones by other clients or tools

- goofys - similar to s3fs but has better performance and less POSIX compatibility

- S3Proxy - combine with s3fs to mount Backblaze B2, EMC Atmos, Microsoft Azure, and OpenStack Swift buckets
- s3ql - similar to s3fs but uses its own object format
- YAS3FS - similar to s3fs but uses SNS to allow multiple clients to mount a bucket
