Object Storage Service:ossfs 2.0 mount options

Last Updated:Dec 13, 2025

When you create an ossfs 2.0 configuration file, you can set various parameters to meet different mount requirements. This lets you mount an OSS bucket as a file system that is customized for specific scenarios and business needs.

Common configuration items

Category

Configuration item

Required

Description

Default value

Supported versions

Bucket configuration

oss_bucket_prefix

No

Mounts a specified folder in the bucket.

Empty

v2.0.0 and later

oss_region

No

The region ID of the bucket. This is used for the OSS V4 signature algorithm. If you do not specify this parameter, the OSS V1 signature algorithm is used.

Empty

v2.0.0 and later

Cache configuration

attr_timeout

No

The time-to-live (TTL) for file metadata cache, in seconds.

60

v2.0.0 and later

negative_timeout

No

The TTL for invalid directory entry cache, in seconds.

0

v2.0.0 and later

readdirplus

No

Enables the readdirplus feature. When enabled, the file metadata cache is built synchronously during the readdir operation. This consumes more memory.

true

v2.0.0 and later

Log configuration

log_level

No

The log output level. Valid values are info and debug.

info

v2.0.0 and later

log_dir

No

The directory where log files are stored.

/tmp/ossfs2

v2.0.0 and later

log_file_max_size

No

The maximum size of a single log file, in bytes.

67108864

v2.0.3 and later

log_file_max_count

No

The maximum number of log files to retain.

8

v2.0.3 and later

Running mode

f

No

Specifies whether to run in the foreground.

false

v2.0.0 and later

d

No

Specifies whether to run in the foreground and enable fuse debug logs.

false

v2.0.0 and later

Mount mode

ro

No

Mounts the file system in read-only mode.

false

v2.0.0 and later

Permission configuration

gid

No

After configuration, the `gid` property of all files and folders under the mount target is changed to the configured value.

The `gid` of the user who performs the mount operation

v2.0.1 and later

uid

No

After configuration, the `uid` property of all files and folders under the mount target is changed to the configured value.

The `uid` of the user who performs the mount operation

v2.0.1 and later

file_mode

No

After configuration, the permission property of all files under the mount target is changed to the configured value.

0777

v2.0.1 and later

dir_mode

No

After configuration, the permission property of all folders under the mount target is changed to the configured value.

0777

v2.0.1 and later

allow_other

No

If you set `allow_other` to `true`, non-root users can access files under the mount target. Access is subject to permission verification based on the file's permission properties.

true

v2.0.1 and later

Advanced configuration

Category

Configuration item

Required

Description

Default value

Supported versions

Network configuration

bind_ips

No

Binds a specified list of IP addresses as the source IPs for accessing OSS. Use commas to separate the IP addresses. For example, 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2. Specifying a list of IP addresses lets you control the network interface card (NIC) used to access OSS. This can increase the total throughput capacity in a multi-NIC environment.

Empty

v2.0.3 and later

Upload configuration

upload_buffer_size

No

The size of the multipart upload buffer, in bytes. This is also the part size. This parameter determines the maximum size of a file that can be written. The maximum size is calculated as `upload_buffer_size` × 10000.

8388608

v2.0.0 and later

upload_concurrency

No

The concurrency for multipart uploads.

64

v2.0.0 and later

sync_upload

No

When enabled, the system waits for the file to finish uploading before returning from the close operation.

true

v2.0.0 and later

Download/Prefetch configuration

prefetch_concurrency

No

The global concurrency for download prefetching.

256

v2.0.0 and later

prefetch_concurrency_per_file

No

The concurrency for download prefetching per file handle.

64

v2.0.0 and later

prefetch_chunk_size

No

The size of the prefetch chunk, in bytes.

8388608

v2.0.0 and later

prefetch_chunks

No

The number of chunks to prefetch. If not set, the default value is 3 × `prefetch_concurrency`. If set to -1, the prefetch memory is not limited, and each file handle can acquire enough memory for prefetching.

0 (automatically configured based on `prefetch_concurrency`)

v2.0.0 and later

Memory management configuration

total_mem_limit

No

The total memory usage limit, in bytes. If set, the concurrency for uploads and prefetches is automatically adjusted based on this limit.

If you do not configure this option, a memory of prefetch_chunk_size * prefetch_chunks is used as the prefetch buffer for data reads, and a memory of upload_buffer_size * upload_concurrency is used as the buffer for data writes. Read and write operations can allocate up to approximately 8 GB of memory. Ensure your device has sufficient memory resources to avoid potential out-of-memory (OOM) issues.

For environments with 16 GB of memory or less, the default value of `total_mem_limit` is half of the system memory. For environments with more than 16 GB of memory, there is no limit.

0

v2.0.0 and later

max_inode_cache_count

No

Enables active control over the number of cached metadata entries.

  • The default value is 0. This means metadata quantity is not actively controlled. The operating system automatically evicts metadata.

  • If set to a positive integer, active control of metadata quantity is enabled. When the number of cache entries exceeds the set value, ossfs 2.0 evicts the excess entries according to certain rules.

0

v2.0.4 and later

File validation/Metadata configuration

enable_crc64

No

Specifies whether to enable cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for file writes.

true

v2.0.0 and later

close_to_open

No

Supports close-to-open semantics. When this option is enabled, a GetObjectMeta request is sent to get file information from OSS when a file is opened. This ensures real-time metadata.

By default, this option is disabled. When a file is opened, the system decides whether to send a request to OSS for the latest file properties based on the TTL of the file's metadata cache. Enabling this option significantly increases access latency when reading many small files because a request is forcibly sent to OSS every time a file is opened.

false

v2.0.0 and later

File operation configuration

rename_dir_limit

No

The maximum total number of descendant files and folders in a source folder for a single rename operation. If the actual number exceeds this limit, the rename operation fails.

2000000

v2.0.0 and later

enable_appendable_object

No

When enabled, the AppendObject operation is used for file writes. This mode lets you read a file while it is being written.

false

v2.0.0 and later

Request timeout configuration

oss_request_timeout_ms

No

The timeout period for requests sent to OSS, in milliseconds.

60000

v2.0.0 and later

Cache configuration

oss_negative_cache_timeout

No

The TTL for cached OSS 404 request items, in seconds.

0

v2.0.2 and later

oss_negative_cache_size

No

The number of cached OSS 404 request items.

10000

v2.0.2 and later
