Good afternoon, everyone!
It's my first time, so hopefully you can help me out. Lately I have been experimenting with Amazon S3 and s3ql, I need to mount the bucket on ec2 and to access the data ( write/read ) stored on it like files,images, videos etc. I have followed the instructions on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/s3ql/uUAnL3Rd4bM , which by the way worked great!! I have accomplished to mount the filesystem, but I have a few dudes: sudo mkfs.s3ql --plain --force s3://container Enter backend login: asdf Enter backend password: asdf Before using S3QL, make sure to read the user's guide, especially the 'Important Rules to Avoid Loosing Data' section. Purging existing file system data.. Please note that the new file system may appear inconsistent for a while until the removals have propagated through the backend. Creating metadata tables... Dumping metadata... ..objects.. ..blocks.. ..inodes.. ..inode_blocks.. ..symlink_targets.. ..names.. ..contents.. ..ext_attributes.. Compressing and uploading metadata... Wrote 0.00 MB of compressed metadata. sudo mount.s3ql --allow-other s3://container /mnt/s3ql Using 10 upload threads. Enter backend login: asdf Enter backend password: asdf Using cached metadata. Mounting filesystem... 1. When list (ls) the contents of the mounted directory, using de commandline in ec2, all that shows to me is lost+found. But When I see the content of the bucket using the web console in s3 I see files like: s3ql_metadata s3ql_seq_no_1 Why can't I see these files on my mounted directory? and what do they represent? 2. I made a new directory, using commandline in the s3ql directory with: sudo mkdir test-dir sudo touch testfile.txt But I can't see these files in the web console of my bucket in s3. Am I missing something? how do I push data towards s3 If I already mount the bucket on the ec2. Do I have to use s3qlctrl to push data? 3- This one is conceptual if for example I need to save my_photo.jpg in the bucket and I use s3ql, the file will be saved, and I will be able to see it with the web console like "my_photo.jpg " or it will be saved in another format? I would really appreciate your help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "s3ql" group.
