/lib/modules/2.6.24.111/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko not loaded

[frater]

DD-WRT doesn't load the /lib/modules/2.6.24.111/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko if an NTFS partition is present.

Is it supposed to or is this WIP?

Fuse is loaded where NTFS is supported, see usb_hotplug.c:

#ifdef HAVE_NTFS3G
	if (!strcmp(fs, "ntfs"))
		insmod("fuse");
#endif

and I can confirm, that it is working. If it is not working for you provide more details.

This is true if NTFS is the first partition on the lowest numbered disk drive, otherwise, the fuse module in never inserted into the kernel. The typical Optware, The Right Way (OTRW) user has multiple partitions where the first partition is Ext3. In my case NTFS is the fourth partition on a 1 TB Western Digital HDD and the fuse module is not inserted. Please see the last few pages of the OTRW thread for corroborating evidence. As a result frater has modified the automount script in OTRW to insert fuse.

Yes this is true, but the current automount behaviour is to only mount the first partition.

To automount multiple partitions it requires a way to set up a mapping partition->mountpoint And this is not implemented yet.

Therefore this is no bug, but expected behaviour.

[frater]

Well, alright then... OTRW users have multiple partition support for 2 years now...

"To automount multiple partitions it requires a way to set up a mapping partition->mountpoint And this is not implemented yet."

We're not asking that DD-WRT automount all partitions as this is probably a future enhancement. At present, we're simply asking for the fuse module to be inserted once an NTFS file system has been sensed on any partition. Surely this is easily doable.
