Change user ownership of s3fs mounted buckets
how can I modify the user:group ownership of a s3fs mounted bucket?
I have a git installation that I would essentially like to store on my Amazon S3 account in a bucket, and then using Sparkleshare, via my web host, sync this data accross multiple machines.
- I Have set up the sparkleshare to successfully sync three machines. Works like a charm.
- This is syncing to a folder at /home/git/dropbox No problems there.
- I want the sync folder to me a mounted S3 bucket though
- I can mount the buckets right next to that dropbox folder, but no love changing ownership to git:git
Problem: when you create the mount with root:root user, only that user has access to the bucket.
I tried to create the mount with S3FS logged in as the GIT user, but no luck, it still mounts and assigns permissions as the root:root user.
Do I uninstall S3FS and re-install using the GIT user?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer
You simply want to mount it as that user. You can also automount it by adding the uid and gid that you want it mounted as. For example, your /etc/fstab would have an entry such as the following:
s3fs#s3bucketName /mnt/point fuse defaults,noatime,allow_other,uid=500,gid=48,use_cache=/tmp,default_acl=public-read 0 0
