troubleshooting-s3-filesDiagnoses and resolves Amazon S3 Files issues including mount failures, permission errors, synchronization problems, and performance issues.
Troubleshooting S3 Files is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Diagnoses and resolves Amazon S3 Files issues including mount failures, permission errors, synchronization problems, and performance issues. Use when the user has an S3 file system that is not mounting, returning access denied, not syncing changes to S3, showing files in lost+found, or performing slower than expected.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage. It works with Amazon Web Services and Amazon S3. The repository describes itself as: Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS. The licence is Apache-2.0.
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df2ab44. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
awsyumFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.aws.amazon.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Troubleshooting S3 Files loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 708 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
sudo yum -y install amazon-efs-utils # Amazon Linuxsudo tar -czf /tmp/s3files-logs.tar.gz /var/log/amazon/efs/ /etc/amazon/efs/s3files-utils.confAutomated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

aws CLI is available with s3files subcommand support| Symptom | Category |
|---|---|
| mount.s3files: command not found | A: Client Installation |
| Connection timed out during mount | B: Network/Security Group |
| Mount hangs indefinitely (no timeout) | B: Network/Security Group |
| Access denied during mount | C: IAM Permissions |
| File system stuck in "creating" | C: IAM Permissions |
| Permission denied on file operations | C: IAM Permissions |
| Files not appearing in S3 after write | D: Synchronization |
| Files in .s3files-lost+found directory | E: Conflict Resolution |
| Slow reads or high latency | F: Performance |
| NFS server error | G: Encryption/KMS |
| DNS name resolution fails | H: VPC DNS |
mount.s3files: command not found means amazon-efs-utils is missing or < v3.0.0.
sudo yum -y install amazon-efs-utils # Amazon LinuxConnection timeout is the #1 mount failure — almost always security groups.
Verify mount target exists in the instance's AZ:
aws s3files list-mount-targets --file-system-id fs-ID --region REGIONCross-AZ mounting works but adds latency.
Verify security groups — most common fix:
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-MT --protocol tcp --port 2049 --source-group sg-COMPUTETest connectivity:
nc -zv az-ID.fs-ID.s3files.REGION.on.aws 2049Note: These SG troubleshooting steps also apply to EFS — use
aws efs describe-mount-targetsinstead.
Mount hangs in isolated VPC: If the VPC has no internet access, S3 Files requires a CloudWatch Logs VPC endpoint (com.amazonaws.REGION.logs) for mount to complete.
File system stuck in "creating" status:
S3 Files does NOT validate IAM role permissions at creation time. Wrong trust policy or missing permissions → stuck in creating with access denied in statusMessage.
Check status:
aws s3files get-file-system --file-system-id fs-ID --region REGIONCheck statusMessage. If access denied, fix the IAM role and delete/recreate.
Mount access denied: Compute role needs s3files:ClientMount. For dev/test only, AmazonS3FilesClientFullAccess is acceptable — avoid in production.
Write permission denied: Compute role needs s3files:ClientWrite
Root access denied: Compute role needs s3files:ClientRootAccess. ⚠️ Bypasses POSIX permissions — prefer access points with scoped POSIX users.
Check file system policy:
aws s3files get-file-system-policy --file-system-id fs-ID --region REGIONFiles not appearing in S3: Writes sync within ~60 seconds. Check status:
getfattr -n "user.s3files.status;$(date -u +%s)" filename --only-valuesCommon ExportError values:
| Error | Fix |
|---|---|
| S3AccessDenied | File system IAM role lacks S3 write permissions |
| S3BucketNotFound | Bucket deleted or renamed |
| RoleAssumptionFailed | Trust policy misconfigured |
| EncryptionKeyInaccessible | KMS key disabled or permissions revoked |
| PathTooLong | File path exceeds 1,024 byte S3 key limit |
Monitor: PendingExports CloudWatch metric. Growing = exceeds 800 files/sec rate.
Files in .s3files-lost+found-{fs-id} = sync conflict (modified via FS and S3 simultaneously). S3 wins; FS version moved to lost+found.
First access latency: Normal — first directory access imports metadata.
Intelligent read routing not working: Compute role needs s3:GetObject on the bucket.
Slow writes: If PendingExports growing, distribute across multiple file systems.
NFS server error with encrypted FS = KMS issue. Verify key is enabled and role has KMS permissions.
DNS resolution failure = VPC DNS settings disabled.
aws ec2 describe-vpc-attribute --vpc-id vpc-ID --attribute enableDnsHostnames
aws ec2 describe-vpc-attribute --vpc-id vpc-ID --attribute enableDnsSupportBoth MUST be true. If not:
aws ec2 modify-vpc-attribute --vpc-id vpc-ID --enable-dns-hostnames Value=true
aws ec2 modify-vpc-attribute --vpc-id vpc-ID --enable-dns-support Value=trueCLI is too old for S3 Files. Run aws --version — if v1.x, upgrade to AWS CLI v2: Installing the AWS CLI.
Used efsVolumeConfiguration instead of s3filesVolumeConfiguration. Fix: use fileSystemArn in S3 Files-specific volume config.
S3 Files is NOT Mountpoint for S3, S3 File Gateway, or File Cache. Uses aws s3files CLI, s3files: IAM actions, mount -t s3files.
