Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/1615

This is related to #647 in that I was getting that same error, however, I am not using docker. Running the commande modprobe fuse gave me the error in the title.

The full error is:
modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-147.8.1.el8.lve.1.x86_64

@CarstenGrohmann commented on GitHub (Jun 22, 2021):

fuse has two components - the user space and the kernel space.

The user space is already installed in the form of the fuse rpm package.

The kernel space (kernel module) is missing. The kernel module fuse.ko.xz itself should be found in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/fuse/. If everything is fine, then fuse should also be listed in /proc/filesystems.

Example (from ArchLinux):

# ll /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/fuse/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7360 Jun 18 23:59 /lib/modules/5.12.12-arch1-1/kernel/fs/fuse/cuse.ko.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72068 Jun 18 23:59 /lib/modules/5.12.12-arch1-1/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14544 Jun 18 23:59 /lib/modules/5.12.12-arch1-1/kernel/fs/fuse/virtiofs.ko.xz

# grep fuse /proc/filesystems
fuseblk
nodev fuse
nodev fusectl

If the module is not present in your system, you can try to reinstall the kernel-core package. This suggestion is based on a similarity with CentOS8. Because under CentOS the RPM kernel-core-4.18.0-305.3.1.el8.x86_64.rpm contains the necessary kernel module fuse.ko.xz.

Please contact your operating system vendor or the operating system community if reinstalling the package does not solve the problem.
