Additional Information

The following information is very important in order to help us to help you. Omission of the following details may delay your support request or receive no attention at all.
Keep in mind that the commands we provide to retrieve information are oriented to GNU/Linux Distributions, so you could need to use others if you use s3fs on macOS or BSD

Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version)

1.82

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

2.9.7

Kernel information (uname -r)

4.15.0-1044-aws

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

s3fs command line used, if applicable

sudo /usr/bin/s3fs s3bucketname /home/ubuntu/photobucket -o allow_other -o uid=1000 -o mp_umask=002 -o multireq_max=5 -o use_path_request_style -o url= -o passwd_file=/home/ubuntu/.passwd-s3fs -o dbglevel=info -f -o curldbg

/etc/fstab entry, if applicable

no entry in fstab

crontab -e entry:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
@reboot sudo sh /home/ubuntu/automount.sh > /home/ubuntu/cronlog.txt 2>&1

The bucket is mounted with a mount script that is called with crontab @reboot option.
When mounting with shell command, or just manually calling the script, all works ok. But when mounting happens from the crontab script call, this problem occurs. With debug logs i see constant GET requests to the files in the mounted bucket. And the s3fs process is constantly doing something when i check in "$ top", using cpu all the time without end. And the files in the bucket are not accessible when this is going on.

Same also happens when i do it via fstab. Here is the fstab command i use

/usr/bin/s3fs#s3bucketname /home/ubuntu/photobucket fuse _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=,passwd_file=/home/ubuntu/.passwd-s3fs 0 0
