John ####################################### "Solution: Install the FUSE 2.6 kernel module. Note: the 2.6 is the FUSE version, not the Linux kernel version! The correct FUSE kernel module is included in the FUSE package however it's not compiled and installed by default. FUSE must be explicitly configured for this. Download the latest FUSE package and compile FUSE as below: ./configure --enable-kernel-module make make install # as non-root enter: sudo make install You can find more help in the FUSE README file. Please also note that some distributions (e.g. Mandriva and PCLinuxOS) use compressed kernel modules which the new, non-compressed FUSE module won't overwrite thus it may not be loaded. Furthermore please make sure that he old FUSE module is removed from the kernel by the below command. The "ERROR: Module fuse does not exist in /proc/modules" error message can be safely ignored. rmmod fuse"
