Mounting the Amazon EFS

In order to mount your Amazon EFS, you need to know the IP address of your Amazon EFS. It can be found on the File System information page for your EFS.

  1. On your on-premise Linux box, run the following commands:

    sudo yum -y install nfs-utils
    mkdir ~/efs
    sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048573,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport <efs ip>:/ ~/efs
  2. Check to make sure the EFS is mounted by navigating to the ~/efs directory and use ls -la to view the files.
