How can I use Fuse on Dracut initramfs?

Question

I want to use Fuse in initramfs.

I am using the Fedora OS, and the Fedora OS initramfs is Dracut. I have created a sample application with Fuse to mount a folder with application.

I want to use Fuse on Dracut, but the Fuse application does not work in it. I get the error:

libfuse.so.2 not found

How can I install Fuse to Dracut initramfs image?

Maybe you should just copy your libfuse.so.2 from /lib or wherever you have it to /lib on your initramfs?

It did not work. , i copied libfuse.so.2 to /lib , but still not works. I don't think it can be so easy – Taleh Ibrahimli Jul 02 '13 at 19:45
And what does `ldd yourappname` print? – tpimh Jul 04 '13 at 13:25

The simpliest solution is to compile your application statically.

I compiled application statically, all is ok in normal fedora system. But when i try to run same program in dracut, this error occures. – Taleh Ibrahimli Jul 30 '13 at 13:03
Very strange because **libfuse.so** is a shared library and static executables do not use shared libraries. – tpimh Jul 30 '13 at 18:09
