 <p>While there is a file system provider <code>s3fs</code> build on fuse. Is not always a good idea to try to mount it to the file system. Instead you should either use command line tools <code>s3cmd</code> or build in access to s3 into your filesystem.</p> <p>The reason why I would recommend against it is that s3 is not a block device while the rest of your file system is. Everything on s3 is treated as a complete object. You can't read or write to a block of the object.</p> <p>If all your are doing with the mount is copying files in its entirety to and from s3, a file system mount may work reasonably well. But you can't run anything that would expect block level acccess to files on that mount.</p>
