Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/529

I know we can do

s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o iam_role="auto"

to use the IAM instance profile role associated with the instance. We can also create an FSTAB entry to automount on boot. But there is no way to pass -o iam_role="auto" to FSTAB entry.

Is there a way to use FSTAB (or perhaps an s3fs config file) to get the iam_role="auto" to persist so the FSTAB entry can use it?

This is what the FSTAB entry should look like

s3fs#bucketname /PATHtoLocalMount fuse _netdev,iam_role=nameofiamrolenoquotes
