Yep. And you still haven't provided the output that you get when you run 
fsck.s3ql. So there's not much anyone can do to help you.

Thanks. I understand.  

However when I try to mount I get;

* ERROR: Backend reports that fs is still mounted elsewhere, abortin*g. 

I'm 100% sure that is not the case, so that is why i'm trying to fsck.

Thanks

mkfs.s3ql does not mount the filesystem, it creates it. Please take a
look at https://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/mkfs.html and 
https://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/mount.html.

I want to mount the files on the host again.

# mkfs.s3ql --authfile=/data/s3ql-authinfo --cachedir=/data/.s3ql 
s3c://xxx

Before using S3QL, make sure to read the user's guide, especially
the 'Important Rules to Avoid Losing Data' section.
ERROR: Refusing to overwrite existing file system! (use `s3qladm clear` to 
delete)

This is the command and response.

What was the output of fsck? Did it work?

This sounds like you're trying to recreate the filesystem with
mkfs.s3ql. Are you sure this is what you want to do?
