I can't use my maxtor basic 640gb external harddrive on Freebsd amd64 running 7.0 because when I try to load fusefs with this command, kldload /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko I get the following error:
kldload: can't load /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko: Exec format error
Adding fusefs_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf and fuse_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf and rebooting doesn't help either, because then that error message is printed on the console.
uname -a gives:
FreeBSD zouk.telfort.nl 7.0-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p6 #1: Thu Nov 27 13:42:17 CET 2008 rgil...@zouk.telfort.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
pkg_info | grep fuse gives:
fusefs-kmod-0.3.9.p1.20080208_4 Kernel module for fuse
fusefs-libs-2.7.3 FUSE allows filesystem implementation in userspace
fusefs-ntfs-1.2531 Mount NTFS partitions (read/write) and disk images
Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this behavior?
I prefer to keep the external harddisk in ntfs format, although I could easily reformat it as ufs or ext3 because my whole system environment consists of bsd and linux. But I don't know if I will violate maxtor's guarantee.
So I hope someone can help me with this.

How did you install the fusefs-kmod was it from a package or did you
build it through the ports system?
The most likely cause of this error is due to the fuse.ko module was
not built against the same source as your kernel. Rebuild fusefs-kmod
and that should resolve the problem.

Rebuilding the kernel and all external modules should resolve the problem.

Hi Scot,
I installed it from ports. I think as a dependency on fusefs-ntfs?
I will rebuild my system as I upgraded lately from 6.3 to 7, but
I'm sure I just followed the handbook and did everything allright.
Will post the results when I try this again afterwards.

Hi all,
this did the trick, thanks!
I rebuild my kernel and had to rebuild that port as well.
Was sure I had done a portupgrade -fa before, but still it
seemed I had to rebuild the port first.
After this, I could start fusefs with the script in rc.d
and after rebooting it recognized that option as well.
Now I managed to mount my external disk with that as well,
so everything is ok:-)
Thanks again,
Dino
