I was able to start gcsfuse on GAE flex/custom since several months, however something changed in GAE that does not allow me to do that any longer.
gcsfuse -o rw -o allow_other --dir-mode 777 --file-mode 777 GOOGLE_STORAGE_BUCKET DIR
produces
Using mount point: DIROpening GCS connection...Opening bucket...Mounting file system...daemonize.Run: readFromProcess: sub-process: mountWithArgs: mountWithConn: Mount: mount: running fusermount: exit status 1stderr:fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
Interesting enough, my other (test) service on the same GAE project with the same app still runs gcsfuse fine, however, the docker image has not been deployed to it since several days. Therefore I suspect that google changed silently under us. My question what it is, how can we go back.
Is it possible that our broken gcsfuse GAE app instance is running within a different, more restrictive GAE version?
Thanks.
