Do I need to compile fuse into the kernel (or as a module) if I want to
mount NTFS volumes? I compiled it out and now the system complains about
fuse not being available when it should be mounting things from fstab at
boot time. I've looked in Documentation, but it wasn't clear to me, and I
never USED to need it.

TIA.

Mark.

Making it a module is just fine; however, you'll need the module loaded
into the kernel before those filesystems get mounted. You should be
able to accomplish this simply by loading the fuse module in whatever
rc.modules file your system uses.

Shouldn't be necessary in a stock 12.1 installation.
Assuming /etc/rc.d/rc.fuse is executable, it will be run from
/etc/rc.d/rc.S, and rc.fuse loads the module for you. :-)
