FUSE on OpenVZ VPS: can't open fuse device

postcd

OpenVZ VPS configuration file contains:

DEVNODES="net/tun:rw fuse:rw "

VPS was restarted by vzctl

and when done from VPS: # stat /dev/fuse

Done on the VPS:

mount -t davfs http://localhost/ /mnt/4shared.disk/

/sbin/mount.davfs: can't open fuse device

/sbin/mount.davfs: trying coda kernel file system

/sbin/mount.davfs: no free coda device to mount

Host node kernel should support fuse: 2.6.32***

"lsmod|grep fu" done from node is empty result

Please how to fix it?

// UPDATE: i did: modprobe fuse (on the node)
then it still not worked, then after: vzctl restart CTID
it started working. Not sure why fuse was not there, eems like mdule was not loaded after node reboot, not sure why

Maybe

modprobe fuse

would help

The modules aren't loaded on boot automatically regardless of if you were previously using it.

Add it to /etc/rc.modules "modprobe fuse" and any other modules like tun etc.

I do not have any such file/folder on my CentOS OVZ node.

ls /etc|grep mod

depmod.d

modprobe.d

Inside modprobe.d are some .conf files, like:

cat openvz.conf

options nf_conntrack ip_conntrack_disable_ve0=1

In my case this file also not existed on my CentOS 6 server.

But OpenVZ says on their page: "you can also add it or into /etc/modules.conf (on RHEL see /etc/sysconfig/modules/ directory)"

On other page they say: "The following method and directory location is applicable to CentOS v6. I am not sure about v5. The directory location may be different for that version."

nano /etc/sysconfig/modules/ppp.modules

!/bin/sh

/sbin/modprobe ppp_async

/sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate

/sbin/modprobe ppp_mppe

---

So in my case i have it now like this:

cat /etc/sysconfig/modules/my.modules

/sbin/modprobe ip_gre

/sbin/modprobe nf_conntrack_proto_gre

/sbin/modprobe tun

/sbin/modprobe fuse

stat /etc/sysconfig/modules/my.modules
