Sshfs / loading fuse module

I try to use the ssh file system. This requires the fuse module to be loaded. The problem is that i dont manage to load it:

# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.

I have also tried to add it in rc.conf, with no success. I guess it is something that i don't understand here...

(I have tried to make /dev/fuse manually: mknod -m 666 /dev/fuse c 10 229)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
howie

Re: Sshfs / loading fuse module

Witch kernel are you using. fuse only exists in 2.6.14, otherwise you have too build it yourselves.

Re: Sshfs / loading fuse module

You don't have to use testing, as long as you're prepared to build fuse yourself. Take the PKGBUILD from extra, and change --disable-kernel-module to --enable-kernel-module, and then run makepkg. After installing it, you'll need to do

depmod -a

or if you want to be really thorough, make up a fuse.install that does this for you.

P.S. I'm not from Norway.
