/usr/bin/fmount, the shell script that mounts copyfs file systems complains Could not load fuse kernel module !" because I don't have compiled fuse as a loadable module even though I've compiled it in the kernel! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile your kernel with FUSE built in (not as a loadable module). 2. Log in as root user. 3. mkdir /tmp/src;mkdir /tmp/dst;fmount /tmp/src /tmp/dst Actual Results: This outputs: Could not load fuse kernel module ! And it doesn't mount the CopyFS file system. Expected Results: It should have mounted the CopyFS file system. /usr/bin/fmount is a shell script. It greps /proc/modules for the 'fuse' string and if it doesn't contain that string, it calls "modprobe fuse". This check should be removed. Moreover it checks that the UID is 0 (root user) which is might be a bad thing if the user isn't root but has enough capabilities (see man 7 capabilities) to mount the file system. Current workaround: Manually delete the "Check fuse module" part of the fmount script.
