Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/2646

Working with an ec2 instance (Amazon Linux 2) and s3fs v1.95. When I try to mount the root folder of an s3 bucket to a local folder it works no problem. When trying to use a folder / subfolder of the s3 bucket it no longer works.

Example:
Works
sudo s3fs bucket_name /local/path -o iam_role="role" -o url="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com" -o endpoint=eu-central-1
Doesn't work
sudo s3fs bucket_name:/folder /local/path -o iam_role="role" -o url="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com" -o endpoint=eu-central-1

I've tried with different parameters, with iam_role on auto, writting to the fstab and then mount -a
After mounting the s3 folder the command works but using ls to look into the folder leaves the terminal hanging, same with df -h, and even df -h -l
Trying to see the processes with ps aux | grep s3fs I can see the process is using a lot of the cpu (when usually its negligible).

Downgrading to s3fs v1.91 works

Additional Information

Version of s3fs being used (`s3fs --version`)

Version of fuse being used (`pkg-config --modversion fuse`, `rpm -qi fuse` or `dpkg -s fuse`)

Kernel information (`uname -r`)

GNU/Linux Distribution, if applicable (`cat /etc/os-release`)

How to run s3fs, if applicable

[] command line: sudo s3fs bucket_name:/folder /local/path -o iam_role="role" -o url="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com" -o endpoint=eu-central-1
[] /etc/fstab: s3fs#bucket_name:/folder /local/path fuse _netdev,allow_other,iam_role=auto 0 0
