s3fs: Failed to access bucket

Question

I have created a bucket, added a policy for full acess to a brand new IAM user and tried to mount the bucket as my archive folder on my server. It just doesn't go. I am on a special cloud and the only downfall of my hosting company that the storage is small. S3 mounted archive storage sounds like the idea.

But when i tried and followed all available policies, s3fs fails to access bucket. I know it's me, i just don't know how.

[root@backoffice s3fs-1.74]# s3fs -f -d -d -o use_cache=/tmp mybucketname /opt/bigarchive

s3fs: Failed to access bucket.

My Bucket policy is:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Id": "mybucketnameS3PolicyId",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "IPAllow",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:*",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::mybucketname /*",
            "Condition": {
                "IpAddress": {
                    "aws:SourceIp": "MY.PUBLIC.IP.ADDRESS"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

My IAM policy is:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "Stmt1423176468000",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:*"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::mybucketname/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::mybucketname"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

S3fs is installed:

[root@backoffice s3fs-1.74]# s3fs --version

Fuse as well:

Seems that there is something wrong with your security credentials set-up. I think s3fs does not specify a cache size limit. You would probably have to check and delete the cache manually or automatize it, for instance by using cron. — phobic
Yeah @phobic, that much i understand (the debug message of s3fs returns a 403 Forbidden). I am looking for some help where the problem might be. — Menashe Borbely

Your action should be

"Action": "s3:*"

Also ensure that your IP address is the IP address that S3 would see (i.e. external IP address)
