Why do you want to use s3 like a file system? s3 does not have the properties of a posix system so you are bound be get some minor errors and problems. > if there is an automounter that could be tweaked to work with s3fs.

I hope you are aware that everything you put on your s3 is publicly available if someone knows your bucket name. I use s3tools to transfer data between s3 and a folder on my machine. I tried mounting it like you, but just ran into too many problems, especially if you access files from many machines. Maybe a little more information on your use-case :) Cheers Didi -- Hoffmann Geerd-Dietger http://contact.ribalba.de
