How to register FUSE filesystem type with mount(8) and fstab?

Question

I\'ve written a small FUSE-based filesystem and now the only part\'s missing is that I want to register it with fstab(5) to auto-mount it on system startup and/or manually mount

Answer 1

After researching a lot found this solution to mount fuse filesystem suing fstab entry. I was using fuse for s3bucket to mount on local linux machine.

• .passwd-s3fs : Is containing credentials to access your aws account 1] Secret key and 2] Access Key .
• uid : User Id. You can type linux command id and you can get uid

Syntax:

s3fs#  fuse _netdev,allow_other,passwd_file=/home/ubuntu/.passwd-s3fs,use_cache=/tmp,umask=002,uid= 0 0

Example:

s3fs#myawsbucket /home/ubuntu/s3bucket/mys3bucket fuse _netdev,allow_other,passwd_file=/home/ubuntu/.passwd-s3fs,use_cache=/tmp,umask=002,uid=1000 0 0

To mount you need run following command.

mount -a

To check your bucket is mounted properly or not use following command to check which shows all mounted points.

df -h
