Details about issue

When I run diskutil list I don't see the mounted disk in the results, I want to use the mounted disk for time machine backup but it doesn't show as an external disk

@ammaratef45 I tried it briefly, but diskutil doesn't list FUSE(s3fs). However, it seems that the s3fs's Volume can be referenced(set) as a drive from the TimeMachine settings menu, so could you try it there? I would appreciate it if anyone with more information on this matter could help us.

@ggtakec Interesting, I only see the thing below so can't even try that!

Are you using similar s3fs command as mine? or maybe you have a different mac version?

@ammaratef45 I'm sorry, it may have been my misunderstanding. I've confirmed that it's not listed in TimeMachine's backup destinations, exactly as you pointed out. I think that we need to know about diskutil recognize other FUSE drives.(ex. sshfs) Might need to check them out.
