FATAL: Module fuse not found.

cortomaltese · 05-01-2008, 10:11 AM

Hi, I'm very new linux user.
I'm using the Centos 4.6, my kernel is 2.6.9-67.0.7.plus.c4.
I try to mount the ntfs partition, but I can moiunt it only in read-only mode.
If I try to use ntfs-3g (I just installed it), then I try to mount the ntfs disk.

>ntfs-3g /dev/sda4 /home/...
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root

About modprobe
>modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.

Can you help me?
thanks a lot

Have you installed FUSE as well? If not: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/.

ok
thanks for your reply..
I resolved the problem.
I was using old linux kernel (2.6.8.xx), so that the fuse module is present in terms of library but it si missing as module in the kernel.
The approach I used was to format the partiton as ext2(as linux requires), and Windows XP can see this partition using a ext2 driver I downloaded and I installed in the xp enviroment.

ciao

Good that you found a solution, though I guess you could have tried reinstalling the FUSE packages.
