All attempts to mount s3 as a pseudo filesystem are problematic. It's an object store, not a block device. If you must mount it because you have legacy code that must have local file paths, try goofys. It's about 50x faster than s3fs. https://github.com/kahing/goofys

s3cmd is a bit long in the tooth these days. The AWS cli is a better option these days. The syntax is a bit less convenient, but it's one less tool you need to keep around.

If you can stick to http access. It'll make you life easier in the long run.
