New issue 170 by beamerb...@gmail.com: s3fs >= 1.25 won't install on CentOS
5.5
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

The installation notes in the Wiki say "Tested on Fedora 14 Desktop Edition
and CentOS 5.5." Furthermore, they say to do this prior to installing:

...
yum install fuse
yum install fuse-devel
...

However, as of version 1.25, s3fs requires FUSE 2.8.4, while the VERY
LATEST version of CentOS only has FUSE 2.7.4 in its repositories (openSUSE,
on the other hand, has 2.8.4 it its repositories). So, the installation
instructions do NOT work for CentOS 5.5 anymore on or after s3fs version
1.25 (and thus are not tested on CentOS 5.5 for those versions).

CentOS users will have in otherwise upgrade their version of fuse to
install the latest version of s3fs. An update to the CentOS instructions
with the recommended way of getting the latest version of fuse installed
would be appreciated (I still haven't come up with a plan yet ... I prefer
to install from repositories for common software like that). :)

Thanks.

http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

By the way, I can successfully install and run s3fs 1.40 on openSUSE 11.3
with the following steps:

1. zypper install gcc libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ fuse* fuse-devel curl*
curl-devel libxml2* libxml2-devel openssl-devel mailcap
2. modprobe fuse
3. cd /usr/local/src
4. wget http://s3fs.googlecode.com/files/s3fs-1.40.tar.gz (get URL for
latest version)
5. tar -xzvf s3fs-1.40.tar.gz
6. rm s3fs-1.40.tar.gz
7. mv s3fs-1.40 s3fs
8. cd s3fs
9. ./configure --prefix=/usr
10. make
11. make install

Maybe your expectations might be too high in that documentation is always
kept current with this dynamic, rapidly changing project? You might just
have to "roll with the changes", or wait until its maturity meets your
needs.

Please consider becoming a contributor. Once you have figured out how to
get the latest version of s3fs working on the latest CentOS, then you can
provide a patch to the Wiki page -- that would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I don't expect the documentation to necessarily be updated immediately to
work on a new release, but when it says "Tested with CentOS 5.5" I expect
THAT to stay accurate. When people see "Tested on CentOS 5.5" they expect
the instructions to work on CentOS 5.5. So, even saying "these instructions
do not work for CentOS 5.5 after 1.25" would be fine with me, because then
the expectation would be gone. Since I found an error in the documentation
(it is incorrect), I did what I was supposed to do and reported a bug. Is
there a problem with reporting a bug with the documentation when there is
an error in the documentation?

Meanwhile, I AM trying to solve this problem myself, but I'm having trouble:

I uninstalled the older version of fuse and downloaded 2.8.4 sources
with ./configure, make, make install just like the instructions said. I
also ran modprobe fuse and ldconfig.

# ldconfig -v|grep fuse
libfuse.so.2 -> libfuse.so.2.8.4
libfuse.so.2 -> libfuse.so.2.7.4
libfuse.so.2 -> libfuse.so.2.8.4

Then I tried to configure s3fs again and got this:

configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.8.4 libcurl >= 7.0
libxml-2.0 >= 2.6 libcrypto >= 0.9) were not met:
No package 'fuse' found

So it's not finding my newly installed fuse at all now. Suggestions on what
I'm missing or might try next?

Comment #5 on issue 170 by moore...@suncup.net: s3fs >= 1.25 won't install

on CentOS 5.5
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

% pkg-config --modversion fuse

should return something newer than 2.7.4

If not, then the install of the newer fuse didn't go as expected.

I suspect that your fuse install is going into /usr/local -- your OS
install might be set up to look at /usr only (or /usr first).

If *I* were trying to fix this, I would run the ./configure with the
--prefix=/usr option (I tread lightly here, because there is a holy war
concerning /usr vs. /usr/local and I really don't want to get involved -- I
know what works for me)

on CentOS 5.5
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

# pkg-config --modversion fuse
Package fuse was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fuse.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'fuse' found

So I look for fuse.pc on (per man pkg-config) the default PKG_CONFIG_PATH
path (the environmental variable is not set) which is the libdir where
pkg-config is installed, and I find this:

# more /usr/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: fuse
Description: Filesystem in Userspace
Version: 2.8.4
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfuse -pthread -lrt -ldl
Cflags: -I${includedir}/fuse -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

By the way, I did ./configure FUSE with the --prefix=/usr option.

# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
# pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.8.4

I was then able to configure, make and make install s3fs without error. I
can successfully mount and perform file operations without issue. However,
HTTPS does not seem to work.

I did a lot of crap trying to get this to work, and I'm suspicious I may
have messed up some system libraries, so I'm going to roll back my virtual
machine and try again. I'll post complete CentOS 5.5 install instructions
soon.

on CentOS 5.5
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

Alright, I got it to work. Using the following steps on a brand new CentOS
5.5 installation, I can install and run s3fs 1.40. Please consider this as
on update to the documentation.

1. yum remove fuse fuse* fuse-devel
2. yum install gcc libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ curl curl* curl-devel libxml2
libxml2* libxml2-devel openssl-devel mailcap
3. cd /usr/local/src
4.
wget "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fuse/fuse-2.X/2.8.4/fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz?r=&ts=1299709935&use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1"
5. tar -xzvf fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz
6. rm fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz
7. mv fuse-2.8.4 fuse
8. cd fuse/

9. ./configure --prefix=/usr
10. make
11. make install

12. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
13. ldconfig
14. modprobe fuse
15. pkg-config --modversion fuse (confirm that 2.8.4 is the version
displayed)
16. cd ../
17. wget http://s3fs.googlecode.com/files/s3fs-1.40.tar.gz (get URL for
latest version)
18. tar -xzvf s3fs-X.XX.tar.gz
19. rm s3fs-X.XX.tar.gz
20. mv s3fs-X.XX s3fs
21. cd s3fs
22. ./configure --prefix=/usr
23. make
24. make install

Also, in case anyone's interested or you want to add it to the
documentation, the following steps successfully install s3fs 1.40 on
openSUSE 11.3 (much less complicated):

1. zypper install gcc libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ fuse fuse* fuse-devel curl

curl* curl-devel libxml2 libxml2* libxml2-devel openssl-devel mailcap

2. modprobe fuse
3. cd /usr/local/src

latest version)
5. tar -xzvf s3fs-X.XX.tar.gz

install on CentOS 5.5
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

One more note: With CentOS 5.5, once you restart the machine, if you try to
mount again, you get this:

# ls -l /s3/backups/
total 0
# mount /s3/backups/
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
# modprobe fuse
# mount /s3/backups/
# ls -l /s3/backups/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Mar 9 11:35 dns1
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Mar 9 11:49 dns2
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Mar 9 16:47 temp

This is not the case with openSUSE. The drive mounts automatically just
fine. This may just be something I have to live with on CentOS 5.5. Or,
maybe you have a suggestion to fix this?

previous version of s3fs and not tested on subsequent versions

- refers users to this issue for instructions on getting FUSE 2.8.4

Regarding comment #14, please see issue #228 (short answer: your version of
util-linux is likely before 2.18 and fuse requires at least that.)

Hey guys,

I've followed the instructions to get this installed on CentOS 5.x (5.7 in
my case).

$ pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.8.4

$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/

The above looks good, but configure is failing with the following error
message:

configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.8.4 libcurl >= 7.0
libxml-2.0 >= 2.6 libcrypto >= 0.9) were not met:

"No package 'fuse' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPS_CFLAGS
and DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details."

Has anybody else encountered this? Any ideas as to how I can resolve it?

The process in #8 does not work for me on CentOS 6.2 x64.


./configure --prefix=/usr (this works ok)
make (fails with lots of errors)

To ensure I have all the development environment on CentOS 6.2, I have
already done
yum groupinstall “Development Tools”

Any ideas how to build fuse-2.8.4 on CentOS 6.2??

Hi Guys,

I am facing the below issue:

configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.8.4 libcurl >= 7.0
libxml-2.0 >= 2.6 libcrypto >= 0.9) were not met:

Here is the output for fuse:


$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/

$ pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.8.4

I can understand the error for rest of the missing packages, but why is it
still looking for fuse >= 2.8.4

Re: comment 12, loading Fuse automatically on reboot

to load modules on startup for CentOS/Redhat 6:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sec-Persistent_Module_Loading.html

I had to 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=...' within the root user's .bashrc file
and create a new file '/etc/sysconfig/modules/fuse.modules' with the
following contents:

#!/bin/sh
exec 'ldconfig'
exec 'modprobe fuse'

And then save and make it executable:
chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/modules/fuse.modules

CentOS 5.5
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=170

Hello,

I'm trying to install fuse to work with s3fs on centos 5.8 but not have
much luck unfortunately.

Before running configure on fuse-2.9.2 I set:
[root@beta:~] #echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/

Then ran ./configure --prefix=/usr


after a make and make install pkgconfig seems to go ok:

[root@beta:~] #pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.9.2

ldconfig returns no output (also good)

but modprobe fuse is where it all goes wrong and s3fs won't recognize the
module. It really appears to not be installed:

[root@beta:~] #modprobe fuse
FATAL: Could not
open '/lib/modules/2.6.18-308.1.1.el5xen/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko': No such
file or directory

An ls confirms this is right:
[root@beta:~] #ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-308.1.1.el5xen/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
ls: /lib/modules/2.6.18-308.1.1.el5xen/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko: No such file
or directory

And this is all I have in my filesystem module directory:

[root@beta:~] #ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-308.1.1.el5xen/kernel/fs/
autofs4 configfs ecryptfs ext4 fscache hfsplus jffs2
nfs nls vfat
cachefiles cramfs exportfs fat gfs2 jbd lockd
nfs_common squashfs xfs
cifs dlm ext3 freevxfs hfs jbd2 msdos
nfsd udf

Am I missing something obvious? Is it _possible_ to get this work? Been
head-desking over this all day practically.

Happy New Year 2013 btw :)

Thanks
Tim

Managed to install perfectly on CentOs6 and mount the drive where I wanted,
now the difficult bit without much info, how do you mount drives
automatically on reboot?

I need to load the modules on boot and mount the drive on boot.

Tried to follow comment 23, have created fuse.module and made it
executable. I updated .bashrc but I wasn't sure what I was supposed to put
in there, you didn't say? I guess you meant pointing to the fuse.module so
I put

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/sysconfig/modules/fuse.modules

I added s3fs#bucketname /path/name/s3 fuse
allow_other,use_cache=/tmp,default_acl=public-read 0 0
to etc/fstab as well, but alas, nothing works on reboot. Can anyone give me
clearer instructions, like the ones I used in #8 to get the thing installed
and running!

In order to get fuse to recognize as a running module I also had to modify
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH with this command

cd /usr

echo "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=\$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/""`find -name "fuse.pc"
\
| head -n 1 | xargs dirname`" >> ~/.bash_profile

Hi, all

Please see issue 317 .
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=317

You can mount s3fs at booting, by setting s3fs with "_netdev" option in
fstab and setting netfs ON by chkconfig.

Hi raghavendrasaravanan

I rechecked tar file now, but it did not have a problem.

The error you got is "Cannot open: No such file or directory".
Possibly, do you typo the tar file name?
(The file name specified in error log is s3fs-X.XX.tar.gz.1...."1" is typo?)

If you can, please re-donwload the tar file and retry it.
If your problem is not fixed, please let me know.

Stumbling across this, Centos 6.x still uses fuse 2.8.3 in its repo. And it
is not so simple in my case to uninstall existing versions of fuse because
I want to install this on a machine running Cloudera CDH, and if I
uninstall fuse, yum also wants to uninstall the cloudera manager agent
which would defeat the whole point.

Any idea why it still has not been upgraded?

And just to be clear -- I understand that this group/list are not the
maintainers of CentOS and do not have control of versions of software
available in the Yum repositories. It just seemed curious to me and I
wondered if others have had similar experiences.

Hi, josh

I think so, but we are not maintainers for fuse.
