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.
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!

To use bucket owner condition, you include a parameter with your request that specifies the expected bucket owner. Most S3 operations involve only a single bucket, and require only this single parameter to use bucket owner condition.
s3fs is a file system in User Space (FUSE) based which is used to mount the Amazon s3 buckets. You can use the Linux/Unix command same as another Hard Drive on your server. After mounting the s3 buckets on your system you can simply use the basic Linux commands similar to run on locally attached disks.
I'm mounting an S3 bucket at /sftp using S3FS. The problem is that S3FS cascades user permissions down through it's directory structure, meaning: I can configure files at /sftp/* to have these permissions drwxr-xr-x 1 root root which allow SFTP users to connect, but they cannot write to their home directories because they don't own them.
Just need to create a directory owned by that user, and then issue the s3f3 command as that user. It is confusing, because ls will show ownership as root:root. What I found in s3fs docs is statement that only a single user can use an s3fs mount, but no reason it has to be root.
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
