Fuse error on Scalr
I got the following error while trying to use s3fs on one of Scalr's Ubuntu EC2 instances:
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
Trying modprobe fuse, I got:
FATAL: Module fuse not found. FATAL: Error running install command for fuse
The solution to this problem is here: http://groups.google.com/group/scalr-discuss/web/mount-an-s3-bucket-to-your-instance. The Scalr AMI does not include fuse.ko kernel module, so I needed to install it:
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.16-xenU/kernel/fs/fuse cd /lib/modules/2.6.16-xenU/kernel/fs/fuse rm -f fuse.ko curl -O http://www.persistentfs.com/extras/ec2-linux-2.6.16-xenU/fuse.ko /sbin/depmod modprobe fuse echo fuse >>/etc/modules

AWS recently updated kernel for Ubuntu 8.04 images, so referenced fuse module no longer works. More information: http://nicktoursky.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/fuse-problem-on-scalrubuntu-8-04-following-aws-ec2-maintenance/
