karma Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 So I finally bit the bullet and updated from 11.5 to 15.6.1 (because of the Deferred issue). I just updated a Mac Client by running the Client Installer. Now I see, in my System Preferences Panel, a Pane for something named FUSE. Is this installed by Retrospect, and do I really need it? Some discussions on the net indicate that this extension is problematic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you are using third party file systems, such as NTFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karma Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thanks, I can't ever recall seeing this before... I wonder how it got installed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 If you have installed software that enables you to write to NTFS disks, Fuse is often part of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karma Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I was able to figure out which program installed it by looking in var/logs/install.log. It wasn't Retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
