Enable FUSE on vps
Written by Pritam on October 20, 2008 – 6:50 am -What is FUSE :: Filesystem in Userspace
The FUSE kernel module and the FUSE library communicate via a special file descriptor which is obtained by opening /dev/fuse. This file can be opened multiple times, and the obtained file descriptor is passed to the mount syscall, to match up the descriptor with the mounted filesystem.
With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program.
Features include:
Simple library API
Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel)
Secure implementation
Userspace - kernel interface is very efficient
Usable by non privileged users
Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X
Has proven very stable over time
FUSE was originally developed to support AVFS (A Virtual File System) but it has since become a separate project.
FUSE Installation on VPS :: [FUSE Module need to be enabled on the Main Hardware Node]
Commands to enable FUSE on Hardware node ::
[root@HWNode ~]# modprobe fuse
[root@HWNode ~]# lsmod | grep fuse
fuse 45320 0
Enable FUSE for VPS ::
vzctl set $VE –devnodes fuse:rw –save
