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)

v 1.89

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

Name : fuse
Version : 2.9.2
Release : 11.el7

Kernel information (uname -r)

command result: uname -r

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

3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64

s3fs command line used, if applicable

/etc/fstab entry, if applicable

s3fs#application-backup /mnt/application-backup fuse _netdev,allow_other,max_dirty_data=-1,ensure_diskfree=1000,url=https://s3.private.eu-de.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud 0 0

s3fs syslog messages (grep s3fs /var/log/syslog, journalctl | grep s3fs, or s3fs outputs)

if you execute s3fs with dbglevel, curldbg option, you can get detail debug messages

Details about issue

As I am running low on diskspace and I need to zip the backups to a Object storage directly (not to zip to local drive, which is almost full), how can I use s3fs mount as the destination so that the temp file being made, will not fill my local drive and stop the zipping process to the object storage.

zip I/O error: Input/output error
