[gentoo-user] sys-fs/fuse question

[Anthony E. Caudel]

I use ntfs-3g to access my windows partition and ntfs-3g needs the fuse 
module.

Does sys-fs/fuse need to be re-emerged (and thus re-compiled) after 
every kernel upgrade?

AFAIK, every kernel module must be recompiled after kernel upgrade
If you recompile kernel too often, or you don't want to remember which 
packages you need to re-emerge (e.g. nvidia), you find 
sys-kernel/module-rebuild very usefull

Enable the in-kernel fuse module then sys-fs/fuse will only build the
userspace files, not the module, so you won't need to recompile it.

CONFIG_FUSE_FS=m

I've seen the procedure hundreds of times. - Qwark

But for some packages (e.g. ntfs3g) you need to completely disable in-kernel
fuse and use modules from sys-fs/fuse. (Altually, it depends on kernel &
package versions).

Really? I've only used ntfs-3g with the in-kernel fuse modules and it has
done all I asked of it.

Thanks Neil, that's what I was looking for.

With some older kernel versions, you need to install sys-fs/fuse modules.

Maybe, but who want to run old software? New software has the freshest
bugs :)
