Could anyone please tell me the FUSE version that comes bundled with Fedora Core 6?

Thanks.

The current version is fuse-2.6.3-2.fc6. Fuse is not bundled with FC6, it needs to be installed (from a repository that is configured by default). Just:

yum install fuse

That will get you the version listed above.

What does fuse do?

Actually:

Just two days ago, I installed ntfs-3g to access a NTFS filesystem on my external USB drive and Fuse was a dependency, but the FC6 version from repo. would not work. I had to get the latest .tar Fuse version fuse-2.6.3.tar.gz from http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ to access the drive mounting it first as root with command similar to this:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

Replace /dev/hda1 & /mnt/windows with what is appropriate. You also have to make the directory in /mnt for the NTFS partition or USB drive, or possibly use /media which FC6 usually uses.

More details here:

It would not automount because of a supposed bug in SELinux if FC6.

Sorry:

I just checked Fedora Extras and apparently they put out a new version of Fuse probably an hour or two after I had problems, as the date on the fuse macemoneta mentions came out the same day. Maybe that one works.
