What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi,

I'm trying to mount my google drive on to a new vps I got. It uses OpenVZ virtualization. When I run rclone mount it returns and error of:

    2020/06/23 05:41:10 mount helper error: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first 
    2020/06/23 05:41:10 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exit status 1

I've tried running modprobe fuse and it says:

    amady@amady:~$ modprobe fuse
    modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:514 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file 
    '/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab138.1/modules.builtin.bin'
    modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab138.1

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.52.1

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.14.4

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab138.1 x86_64)

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone mount gdrive: /mnt

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Paste config here

A log from the command with the -vv flag

The error says you need to install fuse.

apt install fuse

I did install it, i ran it again and it says:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
fuse is already the newest version (2.9.4-1ubuntu3.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 191 not upgraded.

As root, try:

modprobe fuse

and share the output.

I put it in the original post but here:

root@amady:/# modprobe fuse
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:514 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab138.1/modules.builtin.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab138.1

You'd need to address that item before you can rclone going as you have an OS issue going on.

You could try to remove and reinstall it or work with your VPS vendor to help.

Alright dope thanks, I opened a ticket with my provider and they fixed it for me.

Thanks again

Great! Your first post was good too as I missed that first line as I would suggested that first.

Happy it got solved.
