Regarding mounting S3 bucket in Amazon linux permanently

Question

I have bucket named test bucket and I need to mount this bucket under /var/www/html/upload. the bucket is having 33 GB data. I am using below command to mount

/usr/bin/s3fs -o allow_other test         var/www/html/upload
                             [buck name]  [mount point ]

it mounted but when I try to list the files it throws error like as given below

  df: ‘/var/www/html/upload: Transport endpoint is not connected

1. Also is there any way to change the ownership of the directory in which I have mounted S3 bucket. when I try to do that I getting below error

   cp: preserving permissions for ‘/upload/pp-11415-AfQqcI3t_o.jpg’: Operation not supported

It would be great if someone help on this. Thanks in Advance.

Here are my steps:

• Lauch Amazon Linux AMI : amzn-ami-hvm-2018.03.0.20200602.1-x86_64-gp2 (ami-05ca073a83ad2f28c)

• Install S3FS from https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/wiki/Installation-Notes

• Install aws cli : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-linux.html

• Create test bucket : test-bucket

• Create IAM role with below policy

  {
  "Version":"2012-10-17",
  "Statement":[
     {
        "Effect":"Allow",
        "Action":[
           "s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
        ],
        "Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::*"
     },
     {
        "Effect":"Allow",
        "Action":[
           "s3:ListBucket",
           "s3:GetBucketLocation"
        ],
        "Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::test-bucket"
     },
     {
        "Effect":"Allow",
        "Action":[
           "s3:PutObject",
           "s3:PutObjectAcl",
           "s3:GetObject",
           "s3:GetObjectAcl",
           "s3:DeleteObject"
        ],
        "Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::test-bucket/*"
     }
  ]
  

  }

• Attach Role to instance. Role is test-role

• created /upload directory

• finally use below command to mount s3 bucket.

  sudo s3fs -o iam_role="test-role " -o url="https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com" -o endpoint=eu-cal-1 -o dbglevel=info -o curldbg -o allow_other -o use_cache=/tmp test-bucket /upload

• verify mount folder

  df -h

• change ownership

  sudo chown -R ec2-user:ec2-user /upload

• Able to create test file in /upload with some content and also can see same file in S3 console.

Hope it will help you.
