Hello all,

I am following this / this (and others) - and I am getting stuck at the same point every time.
I create the folder to mount to. I mount to it and then that's all fine. I can browse my s3 data via command line.
I do this as root.

Then I create a new user and set the home directory as the mount folder.

However when I connect I always get the silly 'OOPS: cannot change directory:' message.

I have a feeling it has to do with permissions - and when I look at the permissions of the mounted folder as root it's drwx------, but when looking at them just as the ubuntu user, they are; d?????????

Is that to be expected?

Thanks for any tips.

@ramotswa
You can use mp_umask option which is specified permission mode for mount point directory.
Please try to specify it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
