Mounting OCI Object Storage Bucket as a File System on Exadata Cloud Service

My environment:

• ExaCS running Oracle Linux 7.7

Step 1:  Install s3fs-fuse rpm

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/s/s3fs-fuse-1.86-2.el7.x86_64.rpm --nogpgcheck

Step 2A:  Create file with credentials in the format access key:secret key

[root@vm1 bucket1]# cat /root/.passwd-s3fs
a4dzaa8049cbb6e1300b0a9170ff35ddebd50bfc:fYtbmNmp++lomv4z11YX4PuqR9gPbVEe4ZXB00TKUBA=

Step 2B: Change file permissions to 600 

chmod 600 /root/.passwd-s3fs

Step 3: Create directory for mount

mkdir /bucket1

Step 4:   Run the s3fs command

s3fs gregf1 /bucket1 -o endpoint=us-phoenix-1  -o passwd_file=/root/.passwd-s3fs -o url="https://yourtenancyhere.compat.objectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com" -o nomultipart -o use_path_request_style

Example:

[root@exacsx7phx-023jw2 ~]# s3fs gregf1 /bucket1 -o endpoint=us-phoenix-1  -o passwd_file=/root/.passwd-s3fs -o url="https://yourtenancynamehere.compat.objectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com" -o nomultipart -o use_path_request_style

Step 5:  Make mount permanent
