Mount options for EFS on Fargate

Question

Our application is deployed on fargate and it uses EFS to store files. We are experiencing an issue where the written files don't show up because of NFS negative caching.

The solution seems to be using noac or lookupcache=pos mount options for EFS. But I don't see a way to specify mount options when configuring EFS as a volume on Fargate.

Is there a solution for Fargate or a workaround?

The [solution](https://repost.aws/questions/QU0j0fRjfWTGG5BSHuGVfxCg/aws-efs-file-delete-and-recreate-not-detected-programmatically-for-25-to) seems to be using `noac` or `lookupcache=pos` mount options for EFS. But I don't see a way to specify mount options when configuring EFS as a volume on Fargate.

Is there a solution for Fargate or a workaround?
