FuseOverAmazon
FUSE filesystem backed by Amazon S3
Overview
s3fs is a fuse filesystem that allows you to mount an Amazon S3 bucket as a local filesystem. It stores files "natively" in S3 (i.e., you can use other programs to access the same files). Maximum file size=5G.
Its quite useful and stable, e.g., can be used to easily copy daily backup tarballs to s3.
To use it:
1. get an amazon s3 account!
2. download the source, compile it (I've used fc5/ppc and f7/i386) and slap the binary in, say, /usr/bin/s3fs
3. do this:
/usr/bin/s3fs mybucket -o accessKeyId=aaa -o secretAccessKey=bbb /mnt
That's it! the contents of your amazon bucket "mybucket" should now be accessible read/write in /mnt
