Amazon S3 with s3fs and fuse, transport endpoint is not connected


Redhat with Fuse 2.4.8
S3FS version 1.59

From the AWS online management console i can browse the files on the S3 bucket.
When i log-in (ssh) to my /s3 folder, i cannot access it.
also the command: "/usr/bin/s3fs -o allow_other bucket /s3"
return: s3fs: unable to access MOUNTPOINT /s3: Transport endpoint is not connected

What could be the reason? How can i fix it ? does this folder need to be unmount and then mounted again ?

Thanks !


Solution

  • Well, the solution was simple: to unmount and mount the dir. The error transport endpoint is not connected was solved by unmounting the s3 folder and then mounting again.

    Command to unmount

    fusermount -u /s3
    

    Command to mount

    /usr/bin/s3fs -o allow_other bucketname /s3
