ipfs mount issue – "OSXFUSE version 3.0.4 is not supported" #1610

Open jdmaresco opened 9 years ago

jdmaresco commented 9 years ago

IPFS Daemon is running, just issued ipfs mount, received the following error:

$ ipfs mount
Error: OSXFUSE version 3.0.4 not supported.

OSXFUSE versions <2.7.2 are known to cause kernel panics!
Please upgrade to the latest OSXFUSE version.
It is recommended you install it from the OSXFUSE website:

    http://osxfuse.github.io/

For more help, see:

    https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/177

For context, I just installed Fuse through Homebrew. I used brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse, after trying brew install osxfuse and receiving the following error

$ brew install osxfuse
osxfuse: Building this formula from source isn't possible due to OS X
Yosemite and above's strict unsigned kext ban.

You can install with Homebrew Cask:
  brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse

You can download from:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxfuse/files/
Error: Unsatisfied requirements failed this build.

this appears to be a bug in our fuse version check code. For now, you can set DontCheckOSXFUSE to true in your .ipfs/config and it should ignore the check.

whyrusleeping commented 9 years ago

It would actually appear that the check failed here: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/core/commands/mount_darwin.go#L141

I'm going to assume we havent tested on osxfuse 3.0.4 yet, so if that config setting works for you, let us know please!

jbenet commented 9 years ago

yeah looks like a silly bug on our end

jdmaresco commented 9 years ago

@whyrusleeping The config setting didn't work for me. I tried setting "DontCheckOSXFUSE": true in both the root node and the Mounts object of the JSON with no success. I restarted the daemon and my Terminal window as well, just to double-check environment settings, etc.

Could you let me know if I'm using the config setting wrong? Wasn't able to find documentation on how to use it. Thanks

jbenet commented 9 years ago

@jdmaresco can you try:

ipfs config DontCheckOSXFUSE "true"

?

jdmaresco commented 9 years ago

ipfs config DontCheckOSXFUSE "true" didn't work until I added --json

Still didn't allow me to mount, though. Same error.

jbenet commented 9 years ago

@jdmaresco it needs to end up as a string in the config. if it's not letting you, it may be a bug (i.e. expects a value of type equal to the one already there).

  1. confirm that the value is a string in the config, not a json bool. (i.e. `"DontCheckOSXFUSE": "true")
  2. try again.

sorry, this is very useful to find bugs. so far, i think we've found three:

  1. fuse version check is broken.
  2. config value setting fails to change type
  3. the config value for DontCheckOSXFUSE should accept both strings and bool (for ease of use)

@jbenet I've tried again, no luck. Sorry I can't help solve the bug. Limited experience with Go, but learning gradually. Not an urgent issue, just want to be able to understand, use, and contribute to the project over time.
