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)

1.87

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

2.9.2

Kernel information (uname -r)

3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64

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

NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.8 (Maipo)"

When using 1.87:

create symlink
ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 crisb crisb 6 Sep 29 10:13 cristest -> data
unmount s3fs
mount s3fs
ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 crisb crisb 6 Sep 29 10:13 cristest ->

Rolling back to 1.86 solves the issue.

I'm only using _netdev, passwd_file and url parameters to mount.

@ggtakec I bisected this to 1f796d432d but this does not make sense to me. Any ideas?

@gaul This is a bug, I probably found its reason in code, please wait PR.
