I am running some application on google compute engine where it the application reads the data from google cloud storage and writes data to persistent disk. And the bucket is mounted using gcsfuse.

But in the middle the bucket is getting unmounted and my application is going to sleep mode and getting stalled.

When I try to see the content in Mounted directory I am getting following error cannot access /home/santhosh/MountPoint/ Transport endpoint is not connected

Is there any time limit on the bucket live? How can we see the bucket is mounted all the time?

Can someone please help me how can I resolve this? I want the program to run without any breaks in the middle.

  • What version of the fuser has been installed? try this command to unmount the bucket: `fusermount -u /home/santhosh/MountPoint/` and try running it as a daemon: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/master/docs/mounting.md – Kamran Sep 12 '15 at 03:23
  • Hi Kamra, Thank you for you reply. $fuser -V command show below out put. fuser (PSmisc) 22.20 Copyright (C) 1993-2010 Werner Almesberger and Craig Small PSmisc comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

I will try running it as a deamon and see if it is still breaking in the middle – Santhosh Sep 14 '15 at 07:59

I experience same problems, random I/O errors, unmounting. Do not use gcsfuse in production, from the doc: "Please treat gcsfuse as beta-quality software." We use it for the maintenance only.
