I'm hesitant to automatically fire off that many requests, especially when they may not end up being necessary. If you are using the same machine and preserving the cache, it will already be primed each time you mount the bucket, except the first time (or any time you delete the cache database file).

Using find is just a trick I used whenever I'd corrupt the cache or change the DB schema while developing it, and then wanted to go in and test it again interactively.

I should probably mention that reducing the number of requests was one of my primary goals. The first time I played with s3fs (the one I forked), my bill for the month was roughly 10% storage and bandwidth, and 90% requests (or was it 20/80?).

Anyway, thanks for the feedback; I do appreciate it!
