Fuse 2.8.4 on Debian Lenny istance

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. start with this AMI: ami-488ca63c
2. try to compile s3fs-1.33

Error:

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

Requested 'fuse >= 2.8.4' but version of fuse is 2.7.4

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.

I'm looking for better solution.

# uname -r
2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen-ec2-v1.0

# cat /etc/debian_version 
5.0.7

# modprobe -l |grep fuse
# 

Thankyou very much

This is not a problem that can be fixed in the s3fs source code.  This is an 
issue with not having the minimum version of fuse installed on your platform.

As of s3fs 1.25, the minimum version of fuse needed is 2.8.4, which 
unfortunately is not yet available as a package for Debian Lenny (its there for 
Squeeze and Sid though).  Search the closed issues for 2.8.4 if you want more 
details on why fuse 2.8.4 is required for s3fs.

To accommodate this requirement, you'll need to compile and install fuse 
yourself.

Rough installation instructions are as follows:

% wget 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/fuse-2.X/2.8.4/fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz/down
load

% tar xvzf fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz

% cd fuse-2.8.4

% ./configure --prefix=/usr

% make

% sudo make install

BUT! (this is a big BUT), be forewarned -- this method breaks the Debian 
packaging methodology.  You are better off, downloading the .tar.gz and 
"debuild'ing" it with the collateral from the package that is available for 
Squeeze/Sid -- that's the "Debian" way to do it.  You might be able to install 
the Squeeze package by downloading it and installing via dpkg -- I don't know 
if this will work.

You might need two packages as it seems debian splits the original FUSE source 
up into two packages: libfuse-dev and fuse-utils

You can get packages at packages.debian.org

Good Luck!

You're in luck, I did the following on my Debian Virtual Machine (Lenny) and 
s3fs compiles:

% export PLATFORM=`uname -r | sed -e 's/.*-//'`

% pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.7.4

% wget 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.8.4-1.1_${PLATFORM}.
deb

% wget 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse-dev_2.8.4-1.1_${PLATFOR
M}.deb

% wget 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse-utils_2.8.4-1.1_${PLATFORM
}.deb

% sudo dpkg -i libfuse2_2.8.4-1.1_${PLATFORM}.deb 
libfuse-dev_2.8.4-1.1_${PLATFORM}.deb fuse-utils_2.8.4-1.1_${PLATFORM}.deb

$ pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.8.4

Hi,

thankyou very much for your support.
Now s3fs compile with success.
But when I try to mount an s3 storage, I get this error:

# s3fs sitebackup /s3 -ouse_cache=/tmp -opasswd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first

# modprobe -l |grep fuse
#

# lsmod |grep fuse
#

# modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
#

I know this is probably a kernel issue.. can you give me any suggestion?
Thankyou very much again.

update/recompile the kernel to have fuse support or use a different AMI.

The AMI that I have been using is ami-af7e2eea:

099720109477/ebs/ubuntu-images/ubuntu-maverick-10.10-amd64-server-20101225

FYI: I'm using a fairly new AMI from zend (ami-72f3071b for ubuntu lucid 32) 
and I had the same errors due to fuse 2.8.1. Just to be stubborn, I tried 
updating via apt* anyway, using the pkg-mgr hacks in option 2. NO LUCK THERE!

Then, for giggles, I followed your "rough installation instructions" to update 
fuse and only strayed once (to rename download to fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz). 
Everything compiled without any error(s) and my machine didn't explode like I 
thought it might. I figured: "There must be a reason why they are using the old 
fuse" - but I took a chance. I'll play around to try and update apt & I'll be 
sure post my findings, if someone else doesn't do it,first...

The next glitch was when I recycled some code (from another server that I 
installed a previous version of your package on), as:
# s3fs mybucket -o accessKeyId=aaa  -o secretAccessKey=bbb  /mnt/s3

and it came back with:

  s3fs: option accessKeyId is no longer supported.

You may want to clarify this in the README and the helptext. "Make sure you 
have the keys handy" is not really all that straight-forward. In my opinion, 
one should not have to go through all of the above AND the wiki's to find the 
syntax for .passwd-s3fs file in your home directory OR the system-wide 
/etc/passwd-s3fs file is simply <accessKeyId>:<secretAccessKey> -- especially 
if it takes only such little effort to add it to the README and/or the helptext 
-- just a suggestion..

Otherwise, after getting it installed and configured, everything seems to work 
fine. Great Work!

BTW:My partner thinks I'm nuts for wasting 3 hours to avoid spending $20 on 
JungleDisk - but it's a matter of principle. AND hopefully this helps someone 
else...

s3fs - ROCKS! 

I wrote a quick article to share my experiences about how I fixed the above 
issues..
you can find it here-- 
http://www.LogicWizards.NET/mounting-an-s3-bucket-on-ubuntu-lucid/
I am still having issues with security (accessing it by users other than 
root)... but I will work out the kinks and publish my results there. Great Job, 
guys, and thanks again!

Hi Joe, thank you for your review and compliment.  I have opened issue #151 to 
track the outdated README.  Please feel free to revise it as you feel is 
appropriate, sometimes authors of such documentation as inconsiderate in their 
assumptions about users' prior knowledge.

search for "allow_other" option concerning non-root access and there is a known 
issue about s3fs not obeying ownership

Hi Joe

Tried to read your article, but you haven't been paying your bills!  Your site

So if anybody has a copy of the article, can they let me see it please!

Thanks
