@navinamin take a look at the instructions over at https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/fuse.md#mac-osx----osxfuse and see if that fixes the issue.

Also getting this on macOS Big Sur 11.1 with ipfs version 0.7.0-ea77213:

Error: cannot locate OSXFUSE

I followed the instructions on that doc without success, it's still saying cannot locate OSXFUSE.

Note that I encountered same exact issue as @pirate above. Running Mac OS Big Sur 11.4.

I installed the Mac OSX MacFuse installer from https://osxfuse.github.io/ Same error mounting: cannot locate OSXFUSE

I then brew install --cask osxfuse and was prompted to add Benjamin (MacFuse dev) to OS X Security & Privacy approval list. Then a reboot was required.

Then everything worked!

[navinamin]

Ok Thanks

same issue:

2023-01-01T07:28:21.648Z	ERROR	node	node/mount_unix.go:92	error mounting: cannot locate OSXFUSE
2023-01-01T07:28:21.648Z	ERROR	node	node/mount_unix.go:96	error mounting: cannot locate OSXFUSE

env: macOS Monterey: Version 12.5.1 Chip:Apple M1 Max ipfs version 0.17.0 Kubo version: 0.17.0 Repo version: 12 System version: amd64/darwin Golang version: go1.19.1 fuse version: macFUSE 4.4.1 kernel extension enabled.

when I tried the code as follow to set up as the instruction on this page https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/fuse.md#mac-osx----osxfuse

make the directories
sudo mkdir /ipfs
sudo mkdir /ipns

# chown them so ipfs can use them without root permissions
sudo chown <username> /ipfs
sudo chown <username> /ipns

it shows:

mkdir: /ipfs: Read-only file system
mkdir: /ipns: Read-only file system

and

chown: illegal option -- c
usage: chown [-fhnvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] owner[:group] file ...
       chown [-fhnvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] :group file ...

Is the problem caused by this step?

Hi,

Seems that "DontCheckOSXFUSE" key does not work as expected on Kubo 0.20.0 (same in previous version):

 🌔 karawitan ipfs config show | grep -i OSX
  "DontCheckOSXFUSE": true,

 🌔 karawitan ipfs mount
Error: cannot locate OSXFUSE

 🌔 karawitan ipfs version --all

Seems to still be a problem with 0.34.1

..and 0.35.0
