Installing Fuse

The Fuse driver and libfuse must be installed before you use the Veritas System Recovery Linux Edition recovery point mount utility. On SUSE Linux and RHEL 6.x, the Fuse driver is installed by default, but, the Fuse library (libfuse) must be installed. On Red Hat 5.x Linux, both, the Fuse driver and the Fuse library must be installed.

You can install the Fuse driver and libfuse from the RPM repository. You can also install Fuse from a downloaded .tar file.

To download and install the Fuse .tar file

  1. Log on as root.
  2. Download Fuse 2.7.x from http://fuse.sourceforge.net.
  3. Extract the .tar.gz file.
  4. Change the directory to the Fuse extracted folder.
  5. Run the following commands in the order indicated.

    ./configure

    make

    make install

  6. Check /etc/ld.so.conf using a text editor (for example, run vi /etc/ld.so.conf ). Look for a line containing '/usr/local/lib'. If it is missing, you must add it.
  7. Run ldconfig command

    ldconfig

SUSE requires only the installation of the libfuse rpm libraries. Red Hat requires both the libfuse rpm library and the fuse module.
