Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/844

Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version)

1.80

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

2.9.7-1+deb9u1

Kernel information (uname -r)

4.14.72-68.55.amzn1.x86_64

I created a folder, and then I ran a command (chmod g+s foldername) to default the group(gid) for newly created folders and files under it. After I created the folder, I used the command touch to created a file, and it did not have the default group. Creating folders inside of the folder also did not have the correct group/GID.

The correct behavior for a folder with a default group is that the same default will carry into the subfolders and below for any new files and folders.

I am not sure how s3fs attaches folder attributes since AWS s3 does not support metadata on folders. Maybe placing a specifically named object inside each folder.

Thanks,
Manuel
