Description-en: FUSE-based file system backed by Amazon S3
s3fs is a FUSE filesystem that allows you to mount an Amazon S3 bucket
as a local filesystem. It stores files natively and transparently in
S3 (i.e., you can use other programs to access the same files).
Maximum file size=64GB (limited by s3fs, not Amazon).
.
s3fs is stable and is being used in a number of production environments,
e.g., rsync backup to s3.
