fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi I am trying to use ntfs-3g to mount a ntfs harddisk on a fsg3 nas storage device running on 'Linux version 2.6.18' (?). I have never used Linux and so I am glad, that I got that far. I installed ntfs-3g on the machine via a package and the later read, that it needs the kernel-module-fuse, so I installed that too. But still, when I enter ntfs-3g dev/sdb1 /home/Server I get this as a reply: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first FUSE mount point creation failed Unmounting dev/sdb1 (Volume) What am I missing or doing wrong?

| Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi, nas storage device running on 'Linux version 2.6.18' (?). This is an old kernel on which fuse may be unsafe : see http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#fuse26 later read, that it needs the kernel-module-fuse, so I installed that too. Which version of fuse kernel module did you install ? (see above) I get this as a reply: Code: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first FUSE mount point creation failed Unmounting dev/sdb1 (Volume) What am I missing or doing wrong? Nothing wrong, but you may have to start fuse after installing. This is done as indicated by typing the command : modprobe fuse If this command results in an error, the fuse kernel module was not installed correctly. To check whether it is installed, you may type : ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko Regards Jean-Pierre

Or is this no problem? I installed the only available package listed as compatible with the router: kernel-module-fuse_2.6.18-5_armeb.ipk when I enter modprobe fuse I get an error message and when I enter your code, it answers, that thee is no ../fuse.ko But when I try to install it again, it states, that the kernel on the nas is up to date and nothing is changed. What should my next steps be? Thank you very much so far, Robert
| Sun Jan 03, 2010 12:15 | Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first sorry, couldn't find the change post button. I have to correct myself: I used the only version that was tested and deemed stable.

Or is this no problem? You need not change the Linux version, but you should make sure you use a fuse version (I cannot check the fuse version in an ARM module). I installed the only available package listed as compatible with the router: kernel-module-fuse_2.6.18-5_armeb.ipk when I enter modprobe fuse I get an error message and when I enter your code, it answers, that thee is no ../fuse.ko I have checked the contents of kernel-module-fuse_2.6.18-5_armeb.ipk and it contains the file /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko Check it was installed by issuing : ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko Also check your kernel version by issuing : uname -r If the result is not exactly '2.6.18' then this kernel module is not appropriate to your kernel version (post results of both commands). But when I try to install it again, it states, that the kernel on the nas is up to date and nothing is changed. What should my next steps be? You have to make sure the fuse module is installed and started. What is the error when issuing the modprobe command ? You may check the module is started by issuing the command : lsmod | grep fuse Regards Jean-Pierre
| Sun Jan 03, 2010 13:18 | Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko returns -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46063 Jan 25 2008 /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko uname -r returns 2.6.18 modprobe or modprobe fuse returns -sh: modprobe: not found lsmod | grep fuse returns nothing. BTW: Even if I get everything right at one point, will it ever be possible to mount the ntfs-drive, so that you can use it from windows as a network-drive? (and still be able to plug it directly into your pc if neccessary, regrding the filesystem)? Thanks so far. What would be the next thing to try?

| Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi again, ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko returns -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46063 Jan 25 2008 /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko uname -r returns 2.6.18 So far, so good : the fuse kernel module is installed and matches your kernel. -sh: modprobe: not found Well, you have to locate the modprobe command (generally it is in /sbin, but depends on your configuration).You also have to use it as root. Try as root : /sbin/modprobe fuse lsmod | grep fuse returns nothing. No error message such as 'command not found' ? lsmod is generally at the same location as modprobe, so you may also have to enter the full path, such as (you need not be root) : /sbin/lsmod | grep fuse BTW: Even if I get everything right at one point, will it ever be possible to mount the ntfs-drive, so that you can use it from windows as a network-drive? Not sure whether I understand correctly, but if this is on a NAS, the NAS job is to make local drives available as network drives, provided appropriate parameters are entered, and I would expect this to be possible. (and still be able to plug it directly into your pc if neccessary, regrding the filesystem)? Yes, however there are significant differences between Linux and Windows, and you may find differences in your file attributes (time stamps, ownership, access rights, etc.). What would be the next thing to try? You have to start your fuse module by a modprobe command. Regards Jean-Pierre
| Sun Jan 03, 2010 19:01 | Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi sadly I didn't make any progress. to the modprobe fuse i still get: /bin/sh: /sbin/modprobe: not found (I did it as root) /sbin/lsmod | grep fuse still returns nothing. I am sorry, but I have no idea, how I can 'search' for sth. in linux, so i couldn't look eldewhere. i tried /sbin/ though and got /bin/sh: /sbin/: Permission denied but I don't know if that is relevant. (again as root) any other ideas/tips? any kind of filebrowser I could use to look for the fuse files? thx again Robert

| Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi, I have no idea, how I can 'search' for sth. in linux, so i couldn't look eldewhere. Try the following command as root to locate modprobe (be sure to insert the needed spaces) : find / -maxdepth 3 -name modprobe modprobe is a standard Linux command from the package module-init-tools, and if '/sbin/lsmod | grep fuse' does not return an error, lsmod exists in /sbin, and if modprobe is not there, it is nowhere. You may try insmod instead (different syntax) : # as root : /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko BTW did you reboot since you installed fuse ? After all it should start automatically. Regards Jean-Pierre
| Sun Jan 03, 2010 23:21 | Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi jpa, I am getting the same issues as crashonline I perform find / -maxdepth 3 -name modprobe
and it returns /sbin/modprobe
I perform /sbin/lsmod | grep fuse or lsmod | grep fuse
and it returns NOTHING lol its driving me crazy.. i have been trying to get this to work for days.. please help! is there something that we are doing wrong??

| Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hi is there something that we are doing wrong?? Which distribution ? which Linux version ? which ntfs-3g version ? Regards Jean-Pierre
| Sun Mar 14, 2010 14:10 | Re: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first Hey Jean-Pierre, Thanks for the reply. I have been discussing this on another forum aswell.. and from what they have been saying i need to update my kernel version. current specs are below. also i don't require ntfs-3g only sshfs. Ubuntu 8.10Kernel version 2.6.18-92.1.22.ex15xenuname -a
outputs Linux ServerName 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:26:32 EST 2008 x86_64 GNU/LinuxSo with what i have been told about the kernel version do you know how i can update this to the latest version? Cheers Coops

This version is probably not supported any more, so you will have to recompile the fuse kernel module from source, and if you do not know how to do that, you should upgrade the kernel.
