OSXFUSE failure

[matthewrobertbell]

Version information:

go-ipfs version: 0.4.3-
Repo version: 4
System version: amd64/darwin
Golang version: go1.7

Type: Bug

Priority: P3?

Description:

I installed osxfuse from their website, as suggested, version 3.5.

When running ipfs mount, I get: "Error: fork/exec /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Support/load_osxfusefs: no such file or directory"

Based on this: bazil/fuse#103 it looks like version 3 changed some paths, whereas IPFS is still using old V2 paths.

We should update our bazil/fuse dep then.

[hmeine]

Yes, with the latest official FUSE for macOS, the helpers have moved from
/Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Support/{load,mount}_osxfusefs to
/Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/Resources/{load,mount}_osxfuse.
Wouldn't it suffice to look in both locations (the latter one first, presumably)?

[hmeine]

What is the last known working FUSE for macOS version, then? Symlinking the above paths does not seem to make ipfs mount work, and the comments in #3413 (review) suggest that versions >= 3.0.0 are not supported yet?

[Kubuxu]

It is in our dependency, update for it is queued but we won't be able to test it for next release. For now 3.0.0 is no supported.

[whyrusleeping]

We have updated our fuse dep, This should be resolved. Please reopen the issue if problems still exist

[hmeine]

Thanks. Can you clarify when that update happened, i.e. which release it will be / has been part of?
I just tried again with OSXfuse 3.6.3 and IPFS 0.4.10, but without success (Error: mount_osxfusefs: exit status 64).

[whyrusleeping]

@hmeine it should have been in at least 0.4.8, before closing the issue i installed osxfuse 3.6.3 on macOS high sierra and successfully mounted /ipfs and /ipns with ipfs 0.4.10 (downloaded from dist.ipfs.io)

Seems I am out of luck with >>>ipfs mount
My configuration has
"AgentVersion": "go-ipfs/0.4.17/", "ProtocolVersion": "ipfs/0.1.0"
Installed macfuse version is 3.8.2, which is the latest version available.
I am on macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.6 (17G65).
I get the following error message in the daemon:
00:19:35.833 ERROR node: error mounting: mount_osxfusefs: exit status 64 mount_unix.go:93
Is there any specific information available, which configurations work, which don't, what fixes the developers are working on, and how soon a fix can be expected?
If downgrading macfuse would do the trick, to which version?
Sorry to bother with this. Unfortunately my coding skills are completely inadequate for coming up with a solution myself.

> ipfs mount
results in Error: mount_osxfusefs: exit status 64

macOS 10.15.5 (19F101)
ipfs version 0.6.0
osxfuse version 3.10.6
(Both installed via Homebrew)

[Stebalien]

Unfortunately, osxfuse has now gone closed source and the fuse library we're using has dropped support for it. We're probably not going to be able to solve your issue.

[melgu]

I fixed it myself. It couldn't mount into the root folder on macOS. Mounting into the home folder was possible. Thanks, anyways!
