Mounting EFS on a Non Empty Directory

Question

Hello,

can anyone here to help with the mounting of an AWS EFS with a non-empty directory without hiding the current data in that directory. also the data already exists in that directory should be mounted in that EFS.

Answer

Yes, you can mount EFS as standard NFS using NFS utils or as EFS using amazon-efs-utils on your linux systems and whatever the data exists on that exported path in EFS, the data will be available to that client. The behavior to client is same irrespective of empty or non-empty directory. If you have any specific errors when you are mounting or accessing the data, then let me know.
