Using s3fs 1.75 or 1.77 - Not mounting on boot consistently - AWS EC2

[Google Code Exporter]

Detailed description of observed behavior:

   In trying to resolve the issue with timestamps on the files in the cache being incorrect with v1.71, I've installed 1.75 and 1.77 on an EC2 instance and cannot consistently get the instance to boot with the bucket mounted, in either version. It works sometimes, but, not always.

   I reinstalled 1.71 and it will consistently mount, with all settings the same.

   Are there any known issues with mounting with these versions?  All dependencies apps seem to be current.

   As soon as I re-install 1.71 it mounts every time on boot, with no other changes.


What steps will reproduce the problem - please be very specific and
detailed. (if the developers cannot reproduce the issue, then it is
unlikely a fix will be found)?

Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version):

   1.75 or 1.77

Version of fuse being used (pkg-config --modversion fuse):

   2.9.3

System information (uname -a):

   Linux ip-10-179-58-188 3.10.42-52.145.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 23:46:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Distro (cat /etc/issue):

s3fs command line used (if applicable):

Tried this in the /etc/rc.local:

   /usr/bin/s3fs abms-static-dev /opt/ABMS -o noatime -o allow_other -o uid=91 -o gid=48 -o use_cache=/var/cache/s3fs -o default_acl=read-write -o nonempty -o nosuid -o nodev

   and 

   mount -a (this works fine on 1.71 - but, neither commands work for 1.75 or 1.77 consistently)

/etc/fstab entry (if applicable):

   s3fs#abms-static-dev /opt/ABMS fuse rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,nonempty,uid=91,gid=48,use_cache=/var/cache/s3fs 0 0

s3fs syslog messages (grep s3fs /var/log/syslog):

   There is nothing in /var/log/messages with the newer versions, after boot.

Okay, after some testing and research, I was able to find something that worked 
to fix the issue with the mount. 

I had to run the following command: 

   chkconfig --level 2345 netfs on 

and then change nodev in fstab line to _netdev, as follows: 

   s3fs#abms-static-dev /opt/ABMS fuse rw,noatime,nosuid,_netdev,allow_other,nonempty,uid=91,gid=48,use_cache=/var/cache/s3fs 0 0 

Then, the mount on boot worked successfully every time and the timestamps are 
correct now when files are downloaded to the cache. 

This worked with the 1.75 and 1.77 version.

Thanks.
