[Xen-users] Getting fuse/coda devices working on Xen-based VM
I installed davfs2 on a debian 4 (etch) system I''m renting from someone. When I run "mount -t davfs", I get this error message: /sbin/mount.davfs: No free coda device to mount. /sbin/mount.davfs: Trying fuse kernel file system. /sbin/mount.davfs: Could not open fuse device. I sort of understand this: the VM doesn''t have direct access to /dev devices? Can I fix myself by downloading and "insmod"''ing? If not, can the Xen admin fix this? How? -- We''re just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that''s trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

What kind of domU is it, PV or HVM? Where is the kernel located, dom0 or domU? Do you have access to the kernel''s dev files (i.e. to build modules)? A standard PV domU Xen installation on RHEL should have the kernel on domU, booted with pygrub. In this case adding fuse support is simply a matter of installing dkms-fuse (from dag repository). If you use a hosted Xen environment where your provider uses kernel on dom0 and disable module loading, there''s not much you can do other than to switch to a new provider. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
