Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/413

Objects inside the buckets are visible in the mounted directory but couldn't create/upload a file in the directory.
I'm using s3fs inside docker/kubernetes container.

Mount dir shows it has root permission.
When tried to change permission it throws "i/o error"

The bucket content was initially uploaded with EC2 role. Now I have mounted the s3fs with IAM user role. Not sure if this could cause an issue.

I have tried mounting uid,gid=0,allow-others. Nothing worked.

@jeevarathinam-dhanapal
Could you set log level of s3fs by dbglevel option?
And check it.
If you need to change mount point permission after running s3fs, you can specify mp_umask option.
We maybe need to know more your enviroment(s3fs command line or fstab, etc).

Regards,
