restart fuse after editing fuse.conf

Question

I'm setting up fuse so I can work with the mtp system on my galaxy nexus. And I'm going through a tutorial which tells me to restart my computer after editing fuse.conf user_allow_other.

But I simply don't believe that I actually have to restart =P

Is there a way to get the system to re-read the fuse.conf file without restarting?

Reload the fuse kernel module. – Nikhil Mulley Jan 04 '12 at 16:48 — Nikhil Mulley, Jan 04 '12 at 16:48

You don't have to do anything. The file is read whenever you try to mount something.

Make sure that your user has access to /etc/fuse.conf by adding it to the group fuse:

addgroup $(id -u) fuse

Then login again to reload the /etc/group file.
