fuse/fusefs kernel module not loading by default for 13.0-CURRENT

[karlgrose]

The /etc/rc.conf.d/trident.conf file attempts to load the "fuse" module, but this fails during system boot with "kldload: can't load fuse: No such file or directory" shown in dmesg. As a result, no /dev/fuse is created. As a workaround, there is however a "/boot/kernel/fusefs.ko" file which manually will load using kldload or via using a kld_list="fusefs" in a custom startup config file under the /etc/rc.conf.d directory.

I see that for TOS-12-U8 the symlink "fuse.ko -> fusefs.ko" exists (unlike for TOS-19.10) as another simple workaround.

Fixed in 27881a7

Looks like FreeBSD might be renaming that module, and keeping it backwards compatible on STABLE, but removed that compatibility on CURRENT. I just updated our config to use the new module name instead. Thanks for pointing that out!
