Jungledisk and Hosteurope vserver

logo_phpbbI am using jungledisk for about half a year now to backup my Ubuntu home server online (photos, mp3, …). Today I tried to configure the virtual server this blog is running on to backup my blog with jungledisk – but I had no luck.

Jungledisk uses fuse to mount the web service storage and it seems that I am not able to load the fuse module on my virtual server. I installed fuse-utils via aptitude but every time I tried to run jungledisk I got the error message:

fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

If I try to load the fuse module by running modprobe fuse I get the error

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.9-023stab048.6-enterprise/modules.dep: No such file or directory

Seems like the kernel on my server was compiled by Hosteurope without being able to load modules. I am doing a manual backup now and will have a look into that in some days again.

UPDATE: I sent an email to the support of Hosteurope and their short answer was: It is not possible to use FUSE on their systems :-(
