FUSE for macOS will not load with SIP enabled

Question

FUSE for macOS will not load with SIP enabled

I have installed FUSE for maOS.

OS : Mojave 10.14.6

Tormods-MacBook-Pro:~ tormod$ sshfs --version
SSHFS version 2.5 (OSXFUSE SSHFS 2.5.0)
OSXFUSE 3.11.0
FUSE library version: 2.9.7
fuse: no mount point
Tormods-MacBook-Pro:~ tormod$

Fuse works fine when I disable SIP.

With SIP disabled, I get output from the command :

Tormods-MacBook-Pro:~ tormod$ kextstat|grep fuse
 164  0 0xffffff7f84831000 0x1a000  0x1a000  com.github.osxfuse.filesystems.osxfuse (3.11.0) E8885520-BA4F-3A9F-92C5-03F90FF86802 <8 6 5 3 1>
Tormods-MacBook-Pro:~ tormod$

When SIP is enabled, the command

kextstat|grep fuse

will NOT give any output. In other words, when SIP is enabled the modules for fuse is NOT loaded in the kernel.....

I am hoping there is a fix i can do, as I would prefer to run the OS with SIP enabled.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Have tried to look at the developer ID certificates.

the certificate for OSXFuse ID: 3T5GSNBU6W

bash-5.0# spctl kext-consent status
Kernel Extension User Consent: ENABLED
bash-5.0# spctl kext-consent list
Allowed Team Identifiers:
3T5GSNBU6W
3T5GSNBU6W
bash-5.0#

So hopefully it can be fixed in one way or another.

I started my mac from macOS Recovery.

Command (⌘)-R

"Reinstall the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac."

Reinstalled macOS.

After the reinstall of macOS I was able to enable SIP, and then FUSE worked as expected.

I did not loose any data, as a result of the reinstall.

Fuse and sshfs now works, with SIP enabled.

FUSE for OS X is a library/framework for Mac OS X to establish remote connections. I am using it for a sshfs connection. SSHFS is an application built upon the FUSE framework.

Best regards
