[sshfs] failed to open /dev/fuse

I just installed the Debian version on an amd64 system with linux 2.6.14. I loaded the fuse module from the (vanilla) kernel, but the /dev/fuse device node did not get created. I created it manually: mknod /dev/fuse c 0 0 chown root.fuse /dev/fuse chmod 0666 /dev/fuse But this does not appear to be what sshfs needs: $ sshfs chi:/tv4 tv4 fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: No such device or address I don't think it's a permissions issue -- same response from user root. I'm not using udev (it thoroughly messes up my system). How do I do this manually? Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
