Description of problem: Upon installing Gluster on RHEL 5.8 I could not mount a volume due to the error "cannot open /dev/fuse" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa |grep -i gluster glusterfs-libs-3.5.0-2.el5 glusterfs-3.5.0-2.el5 glusterfs-fuse-3.5.0-2.el5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install on RHEL 5.8 2. Attempt to mount volume 3. Actual results: Got error "cannot open /dev/fuse" Expected results: Things to work like on RHEL 6.x and it just mount the filesystem Additional info: A workaround was found via the mailing list of manually calling /etc/sysconfig/modules/glusterfs-fuse.modules

On el5 the fuse module is not loaded by default, can you try running modprobe fuse and then try mounting?
(In reply to Ben Turner from comment #2) > On el5 the fuse module is not loaded by default, can you try running > modprobe fuse and then try mounting? Yep, he was able to get it worked with above. How-ever we requested him to create bugzilla [1] for autoload of this module in el5. [1]http://supercolony.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2014-June/040455.html
Sorry for the delayed response. As Humble said, that did work. EL6 does not require this additional step so it would seem to me that the EL5 installer should check that the module is loaded and, if not, load it.
