AWS Announces Open Source Mountpoint for Amazon S3

S3 works best with a bunch of medium and similar sized files. Itβs really not like a file system.

Reminds me of tape-based storage like the Sinclair QL or Exatron's "stringy floppy". Or Mitsumi's QuickDisk, a format I saw on the Sharp MZ series which is not a disk, but a spiral track that looks a lot like a loop of tape running past RW heads.
