Fuse Mac OS X

Here's a nice little gem, if you get this sort of error:

mount_osxfuse: the file system is not available (255)
fuse failed.  Common problems:
 - fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse)
 - invalid options -- see usage message

apparently the issue is that there is a limit on the number of kernel modules OS X can load. the "fix" at least for me is to run the following:

Kextstat

which will list all of your loaded kernel modules though you can probably pick the following module fairly safely and unload it like so:

sudo kextunload -b  com.apple.filesystems.smbfs

then magically doing something like.

 encfs /Users/demo/Sync/Important /Users/demo/Bills

starts working without any issues.
