Hi Guys

I have just setup a centos 5.2 server - 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP
and am required to install davfs2 (http://dav.sourceforge.net/)

Once i installed the below
fuse-davfs2-1.2.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm

and try to mount a folder using
mount -t davfs 127.0.0.1 /folder

then enter username and password, i get the following error message

/sbin/mount.davfs: can't open fuse device
/sbin/mount.davfs: trying coda kernel file system
/sbin/mount.davfs: no free coda device to mount

Does Centos 5.2 come with fuse??? the error is moaning about coda??? i had understanding that davfs2 would either use fuse or coda depending what is available by the kernel.

Any ideas guys any help will be appriciated

Thanks

Hi.

Nope, FUSE never made it into CentOS5.2

There may be a 3rd party package for the kernel module etc, but there's nothing in the official RPMs.

Damn is there a way i can install fuse, i installed a fuse rpm but not sure if that does the trick i.e. if i vi the kernel config file "fuse is not set"

Thanks for your reply

On my CentOS 5.2 I added the RPMforge repository. Then I've simply gathered fuse/ntfs support by
Hope this helps.

From what I can tell, the fuse RPM is just the userland tools. You'll need the fuse-kmdl RPM, or compile the kernel module from the fuse sources. Once that's in, do 'modprobe fuse' and you should be good to go.

The dkms package provides the Dynamic Kernel Module Support. The fuse module will be loaded whenever the system tries to mount a NTFS filesystem using ntfs-3g.
