mountpoint-s3 does not allow reading file content

Question

Hello, I am using mountpoint-s3 in rhel9 for an application to deposit logs, but when I want to read those logs(cat file.log) at the operating system level it tells me that the operation is not allowed because the file is in use, how can I change this behavior so that allow me to read the file in use?

Accepted Answer

Hello, this seems expected behavior based on the following reference and the error message. You may create a GitHub issue for a feature request.

* New files that are being written are not available for reading until the writing application closes the file and Mountpoint finishes uploading it to S3
