Aaaaaa, I'm pulling out my hair over here!
I have an external USB drive which I had at work, connected just fine to my CentOS 5.3 box. I recall there was some jiggery-pokery involved, but do not recall just what.
So now I'm on my wife's freshly installed CentOS 5.3 laptop trying to get it going, and I keep getting errors about
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
I saw this message from the May archives :
http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/users/2009-May/002345.html
and this as well
http://www.johnson.homelinux.net/mywiki/NTFS
but no luck!
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep fuse dkms-fuse-2.7.4-1.nodist.rf fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-2.el5.rf fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep ntfs ntfsprogs-1.13.1-6.el5 ntfsprogs-gnomevfs-1.13.1-6.el5 fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-2.el5.rf
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep dkms dkms-2.0.20.4-1.el5.rf dkms-fuse-2.7.4-1.nodist.rf
Can someone answer me this? This "fuse module" ... the one that I'm supposed to be able to add with "modprobe fuse".
What RPM provides it? And what file should I be looking for to confirm that it is there?
Oh, and just to show that the drive does show up at least : [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

The fuse module is built by dkms. Make sure you have the kernel devel package that *matches* your running kernel. What is the output of:
uname -mr
and
rpm -qa kernel* | sort

OK, what next?

Can you see that your kernel-devel (2.6.18-128.1.14) is newer than your running kernel (2.6.18-128) ?
I strongly suggest that you run 'yum update' and get the latest kernel and reboot. If, for some reason, you must stay with that (obsolete) kernel, you'd have to install the matching (obsolete) kernel-devel.
Also, the NTFS reference for CentOS users can be found at:
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS
Hope this helps, Akemi

No, that was not obvious to me

OK, will do.
thanks

Make sure your kernel and your kernel-devel versions match:
2.6.18-128.el5 and 2.6.18-128.1.14.el4
are not the same version. You can have more than one kernel and more than one kernel-devel package installed at the same time.
But what is far the easiest solution is to head over to the elrepo repository at:
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/
and then download the package for your kernel:
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/kmod-fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.elrepo.i6...
Install that by doing, eg.
rpm -Uhv http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/kmod-fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.elrepo.i6...
and all should be fine. No need for dkms, dkms-fuse, kernel-devel, kernel-headers or a compiler. I recommend it nowadays over any dkms packages.
Good luck and please report back !

Thanks again. Already started the yum update so if that does not take care of it then I will try that other stuff.
Will let you know how it goes

I just noticed that my email client (alpine) was still configured to use the centos.org email-address for sending mail to centos mailing lists.
This was by accident, I have now disabled that feature.
Sorry for any confusion,
