+Multiple buckets can be mounted (which is why the ```:mounts``` attribute is an Array
 of Hashes). Bluepill monitoring is optional and the maxmemory allows bluepill
 to kill off and remount any s3 mounts that misbehave.

 mount's memory to balloon. Bluepill will happily watch for this (ballooning memory)
 and remount the bucket.
