OpenVZ and kernel modules.
I have some openvz vps's from a provider that I use just for trying things out. I want to have FUSE enabled on my container. The provider's website says that it's ok to request via ticket to have it enabled.
Due to the nature of my usage, I reinstall the OS frequently(can be once every 3 months or 5 times in a week).
I want to know if the kernel modules will stay enabled after an OS reinstall since the vps are "lowend" and I would want to keep my support tickets to a minimum.

it will stay enabled
The kernel modules will stay because they are loaded on the node but you may not have access to the fuse device if your VPS configuration file is overwritten. It all depends on if they keep the options in the configuration file on the reinstall.
You will have to recreate the /dev/fuse device on your VPS no matter what:
mknod /dev/fuse c 10 229
Thanks!
