Problem with sshfs: failed to open /dev/fuse

Post by Mori-mori-mori » 2015/05/04 16:27:45

Hi.

My system is CentOS 7 x86_64, uname shows this as kernel ver: 2.6.32-042stab103.6

I'm having a problem with using sshfs on my GoDaddy's VPS. I've installed sshfs and added root user to fuse group, I also made sure that /dev/fuse device assigned correct permissions ('crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 229 May 4 09:24 /dev/fuse' at the moment; I also tried to set it to 'crw-rw-rw- 1 root fuse 10, 229 May 4 09:24 /dev/fuse', but it didn't help, and after rebooting it returned to former state anyway), and still when running 'sshfs usr@somehost:/some_path/ /mnt/sshfmount/' I'm getting this error: "failed to open /dev/fuse: Operation not permitted"

I've tried serveral solutions found in google, but nothing helped.

Could somebody please give me a hint?

You are not running CentOS. You are running OpenVZ.
You cannot install modules. You must contact your hoster to install them on the host.
For more information ( and support ) for what you are running, see

gerald_clark, thank you a lot. I've never thought virtualizing environment can somehow affect your user experience in case of VPS. I think I've became too accustomed to VMWare/Hyper-V/VirtualBox way of thinking where you are awarded with exactly the same OS environment you would be awarded on physical machine.
