From my point of view both fuse and ntfs-3g RPMS avaliable through FC 6 extras repo are too old. Even more, I didn't find any RPMS for RHEL 4. Thus I did them by myself.

fuse 2.6.1 for FC 6 and for RHEL 4. Please mention that this RPMS were build for exact versions of kernel (2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 and 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL) and would put new fuse module in a corresponding directory. Do not forget to put module in correct directory, do depmod and reload fuse module. Command should provide you result simular to this: take care about API version!

ntfs-3g-20061218 for FC 6 and for RHEL 4.

P.S. Site is mixed with Russian and English language, sorry for this.

Updated RPMS ntfs-3g-20070102 for FC 6 and for RHEL 4.


szaka, please change fuse version required for ntfs-3g to work on main page. As well as I understand now it 2.6.1

Take care that original fedora fuse package doesn't update fuse module which comes with fedora kernels and out of date.

Hi Alexey,

Thanks! I hoped Red Hat would provide all the rpms but it doesn't seem so
for the updated FUSE unfortunately.


Do you mean all these are done by the rpm's? That would be wonderful! Quite
many people want to upgrade but not everybody can because it's too complex.

Could you make the shortest, clearest, step by step instructions how even
the youngest and less experienced Linux user could make the upgrade easily?


2.6.0 is also ok but of course 2.6.1 is preferred.

Hi, can you explain or give me some link to how to update the fuse module?
when I type grep 'fuse' /var/log/messages still show the API version 7.7.
there is no fuse directory in my file system

thanks in advance

Sorry for long wait, I'll write big post with some explanations tomorrow.

I've assembled updated SRPM & RPMS fo RHEL 4. I'll not provide update FC 6 anymore, but anyone can build it using updated SRPM.

RC1 rpms avaliable for use.

Fuse 2.6.3 RPMS & SRPM for RHEL4.

RH4 Upd 4, 2.6.9-42.ELsmp

I got the rpms from your site at http://marush.com/2007/03/08/fuse-263-3 ... el-4-srpm/

and when I attempt to install them, all go in except fuse-kernel-module which shows

Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:fuse-kernel-module warning: user avm does not exist - using root
warning: group avm does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL': No such file or directory
error: %post(fuse-kernel-module-2.6.3-3.EL4.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

under /boot I have System.map-2.6.9-42.EL and System.map-2.6.9-42.ELsmp

If I try to just hack it in there and make System.map-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL a softlink to System.map-2.6.9-42.ELsmp, the rpm will install, but a modprobe -v fuse shows

FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko': No such file or directory

If I try to hack that together and copy the ...kernel/fs/fuse subdir from /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL to /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/fs and then do modprobe -v fuse, I get
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
FATAL: Error inserting fuse (/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko): Invalid module format

and in dmesg I see fuse: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

help?

See comments at my site.

I've assembled 1.2129 version. 'Cause of src changes have to create to patches and change spec.
Could some one check if new rpm install smooth. I can't do quality check in the nearest future.

As I found at site statistic some people steel need RPMS for RHEL4.

I've updated them for the newest source 2009.2.1, haven't tested them by myself.

http://marush.com/2009/03/13/ntfs-3g-200921-el4/

Built RPMS for RHEL5 also, not sure if anyone need them.

http://marush.com/2009/03/13/ntfs-3g-200921-el5/

Updated for 2009.4.4 version http://marush.com/2009/04/09/ntfs-3g-200944-el5/
