Tonight, I tried to roll out fuse on my CentOS 4 production system. (in order to use GlusterFS)
I have two identical servers, and one took, the other didn't.
How simple could this be?
# yum install yum-plugin-priorities # yum install rpmforge-release # yum install fuse dkms-fuse
both of these seem to work. Yet I run
[root@kepler drivers]# modprobe fuse FATAL: Module fuse not found.
I don't get it. both sides have the same: WORKS: [root@koehl etc]# rpm -qa | grep -i rpmforge rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf [root@koehl etc]# rpm -qa | grep -i fuse fuse-2.7.3-1.el4.rf dkms-fuse-2.7.2-1.nodist.rf [root@koehl etc]# modprobe fuse [root@koehl etc]# rpm -qa | grep -i pri yum-plugin-priorities-0.0.7-1.el4.centos [root@koehl etc]# ls /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko [root@koehl etc]# lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko [root@koehl drivers]# rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko file /lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/fs/fuse/fuse.ko is not owned by any package
NOT WORKS: [root@kepler drivers]# rpm -qa | grep -i rpmforge rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf [root@kepler drivers]# rpm -qa | grep -i fuse dkms-fuse-2.7.2-1.nodist.rf fuse-2.7.3-1.el4.rf [root@kepler drivers]# modprobe fuse FATAL: Module fuse not found.

Why one and not the other? And why isn't the fuse kernel "owned" by the rpm I used to install it? It's driving me NUTS. I've already tried copying over the "fs" directory and all child leaves. No effect.

Fuse is great, and works well for me. I *think* that /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller is what creates the fuse module. This script will run e.g. when booting, or if you manually
service dkms_autoinstaller start
as root.
HTH,

This one is an easy answer ... the whole purpose of a DKMS is to BUILD modules when you CHANGE your kernel. These modules are not INSTALLED, they are BUILT (generated) so they will never be owned by any RPM.
In order for this to work, you have to have the kernel-smp-devel for the kernel that you want to boot installed so that fuse can generate the module. The exact version is important ... on the one where it did not build, make sure that your have the proper kernel-smp-devel installed with the commands:
uname -r (the result will be a version)
rpm -q kernel-smp-devel (make sure the versions match)
