FUSE-based file system backed by Amazon S3. Mount a s3 bucket as a local file system to read/write. Since the bucket is mounted as a local file system, the  write/read operation is faster than when we read the file from s3 bucket directly.

Install Dependencies:

yum install gcc libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ curl-devel libxml2-devel openssl-devel mailcap util-linux

Download fuse:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/fuse-2.X/2.9.4/fuse-2.9.4.tar.gz

Extract and install it:

cd fuse-2.9.4

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

make

make install

Add to loadable module:

ldconfig

modprobe fuse

Download s3fs:

wget https://s3fs.googlecode.com/files/s3fs-1.74.tar.gz

Extract and install it:

tar -xzf s3fs-1.74.tar.gz

cd s3fs-1.74

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

make

make install

Export the access key and secret key:

echo AccessKey:Secretkey > ~/.passwd-s3fs

Install fuse:

yum install libfuse,fuse-libs

Mount the bucket  to a local directory.

s3fs -o allow_other -o use_cache=/tmp/cache/ bucket-name /mnt/

where,

/tmp/cache – local cache directory.

bucket-name – S3 bucket Name

/mnt – Local Mount point

Add a permanent entry in /etc/fstab

s3fs#bucket-name /cfmnt fuse allow_other,use_cache=/tmp/cache 0 0
