How to load fuse module?
I'm running debian on my linode. One of the packages that I want to install is dependent on the fuse (file system in user space) kernel module.
Although I can install the fuse package just fine (and the package dependent on it) I don't appear to be able to load the fuse module (using either modprobe or insmod).
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Is what I'm trying to do even possible? (i.e., is it permissible to load kernel modules in a UML environment like linode?)
TIA,
darose

No, that's not allowed (at least it wasn't last time I checked), for security reasons.
If fuse is also available as a patch to the kernel so it can be built-in, then you could try asking Caker to include it in the next kernel…

Oh, yes, I forgot about that! So we just have to ask Caker… (I also want FUSE, by the way).

OK. Thanks for the info.
