Last Updated:Mar 25, 2025

This topic describes how to use ossfs 2.0 to mount an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket to a local file system in a Linux system.

Prerequisites

You have installed ossfs 2.0 and configured ossfs 2.0.

Create a mount directory

You can set the file name and path of the mount directory according to your needs. For example, you can create the /tmp/ossfs2-bucket directory as the mount directory.

mkdir /tmp/ossfs2-bucket

Mount a bucket

Execute the following command to mount the bucket configured in the ossfs 2.0 configuration file ossfs2.conf to the local /tmp/ossfs2-bucket/ directory. For examples of the ossfs 2.0 configuration file, see Configure ossfs 2.0.

ossfs2 mount /tmp/ossfs2-bucket/ -c /etc/ossfs2.conf 

Unmount a mounted bucket

You can use a command to unmount the OSS file system that is mounted to the local system. For example, you can unmount the file system mounted at the /tmp/ossfs2-bucket/ path.

sudo umount /tmp/ossfs2-bucket/
