Change ownership of s3fs slaves

how can I change the user: group ownership of the installed s3fs bucket?

I have a git installation that I would like to store on my Amazon S3 account in a bucket, and then use Sparkleshare through my web host to synchronize this data across multiple machines.

- I created a candle to successfully synchronize three cars. It works like a charm.

  • This is syncing with the folder in / home / git / dropbox. There are no problems.
  • I want in my sync folder I mounted an S3 bucket though
  • I can install buckets next to this folder with Dropbox, but without the love of changing ownership on git: git

Problem: when creating a mount with the root: root user, the user gets access to the bucket.

I tried to create mount with S3FS registered as git user, but with no luck, it still mounts and assigns permissions as root: root user.

Uninstall S3FS and reinstall using git user?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In Ubuntu, I found that any user who owns the s3fs mount will own it, although ls will show the owner root: root, and in fact root cannot use it. When you made mount as a git user, are you sure you can't write it?

You just want to install it as this user. You can also automate it by adding the uid and gid that you want to install. For example, your / etc / fstab will have a record such as:

s3fs#s3bucketName /mnt/point fuse defaults,noatime,allow_other,uid=500,gid=48,use_cache=/tmp,default_acl=public-read 0 0

1.69 seems to fix the uid / gid problem https://code.google.com/p/s3fs/downloads/detail?name=s3fs-1.69.tar.gz&can=2&q=
