It seems I am missing the fuse module - where would it be? I installed fuse without errors. I have logged out and back in. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get this directory mounted? Cheers, Jude

My guess is that you haven't installed the module onto your system yet, so obviously you can't load it into the kernel. Here's what I came up with: Code: Package fuse-source * stable (utils): Filesystem in USErspace (source for kernel module) 2.2.1-4sarge2: all 2.2.1-4: all Package fuse-utils * stable (utils): Filesystem in USErspace (utilities) 2.2.1-4sarge2: alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc 2.2.1-4: amd64 Plus 9 more packages. Try installing some of them and modprobe fuse each time. __________________ Flies of a particular kind, i.e. time-flies, are fond of an arrow. Registered Linux User #408794

Code: uname -a If your kernel does not have the fuse module, then you can install with with module-assistant : Code: apt-get install module-assistant apt-get install fuse-source cd /usr/src m-a prepare m-a a-i fuse depmod -ae $(uname -r) Then you should be able to do : Code: modprobe fuse __________________ "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.

Code:

uname -a

If your kernel does not have the fuse module, then you can install with with module-assistant :

Code:

apt-get install module-assistant 
apt-get install fuse-source
cd /usr/src
m-a prepare
m-a a-i fuse
depmod -ae $(uname -r)

Then you should be able to do :

Code:

modprobe fuse

I run into this same trouble. Im attempting to get a USB drive mounted under centos. The machine is running trixbox ce. Its basicly an appliance so I did not install the OS it was pre defined.

Anyway I installed ntfs-g3 as well as force using yum

# yum list | grep fuse
fuse.i386 2.7.3-1.el5.rf installed
fuse-ntfs-3g.i386 1.2918-1.el5.rf installed

and still when I do modprobe

[root@gclan-pbx src]# modprobe fuse-ntfs-g3
FATAL: Module fuse_ntfs_g3 not found.
[root@gclan-pbx src]# modprobe fuse-ntfs
FATAL: Module fuse_ntfs not found.
[root@gclan-pbx src]# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
[root@gclan-pbx src]# modprobe ntfs-g3
FATAL: Module ntfs_g3 not found.

Any thoughts?
