[Bug 223663] New: fuse package requires additional configuration (by root) to work.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223663 Summary: fuse package requires additional configuration (by root) to work. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jarl@softace.dk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com As described in bug 222899, it requires root activity to use sshfs (and other fuse file systems) This is really awkward. Since a sysadmin when installing the fuse package, would probably expect that this by itself will enable users to use fuse File systems (such as sshfs). However additional root activity is required, namely modifying /etc/sysconfig/kernel My suggestion for enhancement is simply to incorporate this modification of the /etc/sysconfig/kernel into the RPM scripts executed when installing the fuse package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The suggestion is far too simple because there are other filesystems (like ntfs-3g) which can load the fuse module on demand. Loading it uncondionally would be bloat for users of these file systems. I'd prefer enhancing sshfs to behave like ntfs-3g, so that it can load the module as-needed _without_ messing around in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (which is inappropriate anyway because just because I have fuse installed, doesn't mean I want it to be loaded unconditionally - it should be loaded when it's going to be used). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Does anybody see a problem with this solution?
I don't see a problem with that, I consider it similar to my initial suggestion, but mind comment#1 by Andreas Hanke, saying "Loading it uncondionally would be bloat for users of these file systems." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
