Hi Nikolaus

I went through the following steps:

1. I created a local s3ql filesystem in a subdirectory of an external drive.
2.  I copied around 5TB of data into it.
3.  I uploaded the external drive to Amazon S3.
4. I expected to be able then to mount the filesystem with s3://mydrive/subdirectory/
5.  It doesn't work.  I get:

    raise CorruptedObjectError('Invalid metadata format: %s' % format_)

from either mount.s3ql or fsck.s3ql
6.  If I try s3qladm upgrade s3://mydrive/subdirectory/ I get:

Wrong file system passphrase

Looking at the format of both s3ql_metadata and s3ql_passphrase, they appear to have a text section at the beginning with a first line of "s3ql_1". If I create a filesystem natively on S3, those files are pure binary.

So, (a) have I screwed up and (b) is there any way to recover from it?

Regards
Cliff.
