fuse4x sshfs on macosx execution error

I'm using sshfs on macosx 10.7 in my every day job.

To install sshfs I have used macport: "port install fuse4x sshfs".

The todays error:

$ sshfs [email protected]:/path myfolder
fuse4x client library version is incompatible with the kernel extension (kext='0.9.0', library='0.9.2').

Any tips welcomed. I don't understand, I have not updated the system.

tl;dr:

try to manually update fuse4x-kect after updating the ports' tree using sync verb

port sync
port upgrade fuse4x-kext

Longer read

The error you pasted means that somehow macports didn't update the kext port fuse4x-kext when it upgraded fuse4x, it should have. I doubt your issue is still actual, since you're likely to have updated since october 2012, you should perform regular ports' upgrades and check when a new macports version is out in order to run a selfupdate verb.

As future reference you can guess what the kext port for a port is by looking at its information

port info fuse4x

or list of dependencies:

port deps fuse4x

Ports offering kexts can be loaded and unloaded from kernel by using load and unload verb.

$ brew info fuse4x-kext

instructions:

In order for FUSE-based filesystems to work, the fuse4x kernel extension must be installed by the root user:

$ sudo /bin/cp -rfX /usr/local/Cellar/fuse4x-kext/0.9.2/Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext /Library/Extensions
$ sudo chmod +s /Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext/Support/load_fuse4x

If upgrading from a previous version of Fuse4x, the old kernel extension will need to be unloaded before performing the steps listed above. First, check that no FUSE-based filesystems are running:

$ mount -t fuse4x

Unmount all FUSE filesystems and then unload the kernel extension:

$ sudo kextunload -b org.fuse4x.kext.fuse4x
