Hi,

I'm trying to get fuse installed on CentOS 5. Starting with a stock server install.

Install of RPM was fine:

yum install fuse
[root@localhost src]# yum install fuse
..
Installing:
fuse i386 2.7.0-2.el5.rf rpmforge 246 k
..
Installed: fuse.i386 0:2.7.0-2.el5.rf
Complete!


Unable to start module:

[root@localhost src]# /etc/init.d/fuse start
Loading fuse module failed!


Module not found:

[root@localhost src]# modprobe -l | grep fuse
[root@localhost src]# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
[root@localhost src]# ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.
2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/ 2.6.18-8.el5/
[root@localhost src]# ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/kernel/fs
autofs4 configfs exportfs freevxfs hfs jffs2 nfs nls vfat
cachefiles cramfs ext3 fscache hfsplus lockd nfs_common squashfs
cifs dlm fat gfs2 jbd msdos nfsd udf
[root@localhost src]#


thoughts?

You need to install dkms-fuse (from rpmforge).

yum install dkms dkms-fuse

This will also install kernel-devel if you do not already have it. After that, 'modprobe fuse' should work.

AWESOME info!

I added this and was able to mount a remote file-system.


Also one note, chmod o+rw /dev/fuse

I found some excellent info on here as well.

The content of this thread is obsolete -- it's pre CentOS-5.4. As of 5.4 (kernel 2.6.18-164), the fuse module is part of the kernel. You do not need dkms-fuse any more. If you have already installed it under CentOS 5.4, remove it with a yum remove dkms-fuse. If you are not running CentOS 5.4, I suggest you update your system.
