[gentoo-user] To Neil Bothwick: Question re ntfs-3g

[Anthony E. Caudel]

Neil, back on 15 July, you stated that you used ntfs-3g with only the
in-kernel fuse modules.

When I try that, I get the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

I find I have to use sys-fs/fuse to be able to mount ntfs-3g.

Is there something else I should be doing?  I'm using kernel 2.6.22

I'm using ntfs-3g w/o issues. I'm not using in-kernel fuse modules
though. I'm compiling it from the version in portage

Same here, and it works OK so far.

That's what I'm doing as well.

Correct. You need to install sys-fs/fuse, as it contains the
library, some binaries and *OPTIONALLY* the kernel module. The
module will only be built, if the user has NOT built the module
in the kernel.

Install sys-fs/fuse :)

Hello Iain Buchanan,

> hey, stop answering, this was to Neil!

Hey! ! was asleep! :)

As Alexander has already posted, you still need sys-fs/fuse to provide
the libraries, but it defers to the kernel for the modules (which saves
rebuilding it each time you change the kernel).

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

Ok, I had read it that I did _NOT_ need sys-fs/fuse.  I will re-emerge fuse.

Thanks all for your input.
