I use s3fs 1.33 on Ubuntu 9.10.
Regularily it gives me errors like this:
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: close failed on "/mnt/s3/mybucket/filename": Software caused connection abort (103) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(731) [receiver=3.0.6] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (86 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6]
Any attempt to work with mounted directory after that gives this error:
Transport endpoint is not connected
To get rid of this, I have to remount.
Is there a way to force a remount automatically?

I'm curious as to where your rsync errors are coming from. Do a "grep s3fs /var/log/syslog" or "grep s3fs /var/log/messages" to try to uncover internal error conditions. You can report these as an issue at http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/list for potential help. If these messages imply a connectivity issue, then there isn't much that can be done.
