Unable to mount S3 Bucket using FUSE s3fs

I have an S3 bucket which I’m trying to mount as a files system in my EC2 instance however when I do, the command works and no errors are returned but I do not see any of my directories or files listed in the file location.

I’m following the guide here https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-the-fuse-based-file-system-backed-by-amazon-s3 and believe I have followed it correctly and I’m sure the Access Key and Secret Key are correct as they are the ones I use to stream using the MediaCache plugin. Is there a step I am missing?

That sounds correct. When you do a ls -al on the /mnt/s3 it returns nothing? If you list all your mounted drives, does it show up as mounted?

Hi Matt, yes that is correct, the device shows as mounted but empty (see below)
