Mfsmount in /etc/fstab error about moosefs

[pkonopelko]

@richarson:

I've just added better description on https://moosefs.com/download/centosfedorarhel.html. Please check it out - all comments and suggestions of course are welcome:

If you want MooseFS to be mounted automatically when system starts, first of all install File System in Userspace (FUSE) utilities:
# yum install fuse
and then add one of the following entries to your /etc/fstab:

"classic" entry (works with all MooseFS 3.0 and 2.0 verisons):
mfsmount /mnt/mfs fuse defaults 0 0

or "NFS-like" entry (works with MooseFS 3.0.75+):
mfsmaster.host.name: /mnt/mfs moosefs defaults 0 0

@OXide94 Perfect, thanks!

Hi,
Please check if you have installed fuse utilities, because without this package mfsmount will not work with fstab.

CentOS 7 packages should look like this:
fuse.x86_64 : File System in Userspace (FUSE) utilities
fuse-libs.x86_64 : File System in Userspace (FUSE) libraries

Would you be so kind and send us mfsmount line from fstab?

Would you guy reconsider adding fuse as a dependency for mfsmount?

I know fuse it's not really required to use mfsmount but I think this is already a recurring problem :)

Or at least put a note on the docs that you need to install fuse utilities, e.g (extracted from https://moosefs.com/download/centosfedorarhel.html):

After installing the MooseFS Client, you can add the following entry to your /etc/fstab to mount MooseFS automatically when system starts (but note that you'll have to install fuse if you want to use this method):

mfsmount /mnt/mfs fuse defaults 0 0

Hi @richarson,

Thanks for reminding this matter - indeed I can remember, that it was mentioned somewhere on MooseFS-Users mailing list some time ago. Good point regarding the proposed place for info about fuse utilities on RPM-based systems - I'll take care of posting it on our website tomorrow, thanks!

Concerning packages - I can't promise we'll put fuse utils as a dependency, but we definitely will discuss it.

Best regards,

Guys, do you think this issue can be closed? I can't see anything more to be done on it for now.
