In the middle of setting up my shiny new dedicated host for serving the growing toastboy empire, I realised it would be really handy to have a transparent filesystem link between the old server (a Debian Etch VM).

Now, here’s a good howto about sshfs on Debian, but for me, it didn’t quite work. When I got to the point of trying a modprobe fuse, I got the error FATAL: Module fuse not found.. So after a bit of thrashing about I realised that the missing link was this: you need to do depmod -a before modprobe fuse will work, and then everything behaves as expected.
