After creating /mnt/bucket
folder which is to be used as a local mounting-point for Google Bucket:
sudo mkdir /mnt/bucket
sudo chmod 777 /mnt/bucket
I can successfully mount
it to mybucket
Google Bucket by simply typing sudo mount
followed by with all its endless arguments in Ubuntu terminal, like so:
sudo mount -t gcsfuse -o key_file=/keys/key.json -o rw -o allow_other -o file_mode=777 -o dir_mode=777 mybucket /mnt/bucket
Since I am supplying mount
command with the -o key_file=path/to/key.json
option the bucket
that is mounted on /mnt/bucket
folder can be accessed with the full access permissions (users can read, write, create, delete files and folders stored on Bucket).
But the same command does not run properly if put inside of /etc/fstab
file which is supposed to be executed at the time the machine boots.
Here is the syntax as it was put inside of /etc/fstab
file (the same command just no sudo
and mount
at the beginning):
-t gcsfuse -o key_file=/keys/key.json -o rw -o allow_other -o file_mode=777 -o dir_mode=777 mybucket /mnt/bucket
The format of a line in /etc/fstab
is:
<device> <mount-point> <filesystem-type> <comma-separated-options> <dump=0|1> <fsck=0|1>
You need to rearrange the mount command you have. -t
is the filesystem type. -o
are the options. mybucket
is the device. /mnt/bucket
is the mount point. End result, add this line to /etc/fstab
:
mybucket /mnt/bucket gcsfuse key_file=/keys/key.json,rw,allow_other,file_mode=777,dir_mode=777 0 0
