Mounting with EFS access points

You can mount an EFS file system using an EFS access point only by using the EFS mount helper.

Note

You must configure one or more mount targets for your file system when mounting a file system using EFS access points.

When you mount a file system using an access point, the mount command includes the access-point-id and the tls mount option in addition to the regular mount options. An example is shown following. 

$ sudo mount -t efs -o tls,accesspoint=access-point-id file-system-id efs-mount-point

To automatically mount a file system using an access point, add the following line to the /etc/fstab file on the EC2 instance.

file-system-id efs-mount-point efs _netdev,tls,accesspoint=access-point-id 0 0
