What is the method used to mount NASA S3 buckets under /archive-data ? I am using a specific part of the Aladin code base that reads FITS images from a large sets of observations and generates a full sky map in the HiPS format. The code has several different stages. The first stage runs fine, opening and looking at all of the input files in order to construct an index of what is where. The second stage fails to read the very same files. This has not happened when using the code in my on-prem system where a real file system is mounted. To help debug, I’d like to know how exactly the nasa-heasarc bucket is mounted under /archive-data.
It uses AWS’s s3-mountpoint.
Thanks. Same as the developer at MAST I’m corresponding with about this. We’ll see what they find. We are both trying to do the same thing just with different datasets.
I’ll mark it as solved for now but re-open it if/when we figure out what the problem is, if it isn’t the code itself.
