Mounting fails with "Error connecting to socket"

[magro]

After installing the package and configuring aws-s3fs (in /etc/aws-s3fs.conf) mounting fails with "Error connecting to socket":

$ sudo aws-s3fs /mnt/magro.tests3
Read configuration from /etc/aws-s3fs.conf.
Configuration:

  Bucket: magro.tests3
  Path: /
  Log: /var/log/aws-s3fs.log
  Log level: LOG_WARNING
Mount point:

Error connecting to socket.

The reason you're getting that error is probably that the file caching backend isn't running. It's named aws-s3fs-queued, and is intended to run as a daemon. The current setup doesn't start the daemon. It may be a bit too early to experiment with the code.

Ok, I'll wait a bit :-) I'm still looking forward to testing this, just drop me a note when you have s.th. I could play with.
