How to change .sif image mounting from FUSE to Linux kernel

[Jake-Leese]

Version of Singularity:

What version of Singularity are you using? Run:

$ singularity --version
singularity-ce version 4.1.2-jammy

Expected behavior

What did you expect to see when you do...?

I am trying to mount a sif container's files to my system by setting the SINGULARITY_BIND environment variable in a slurm scheduler script on our HPC. I have used this script many times in the past without issue.

Actual behavior

What actually happend? Why was it incorrect?
For some reason, when I run the slurm script, the system attempts to mount the image using FUSE, despite our HPC not having the required libfuse3 installed. I want singularity to revert back to the default mounting method using the Linux kernel (6.5.0-45-generic)

Steps to reproduce this behavior

How can others reproduce this issue/problem?
I am using this slurm script from the rocker project: https://rocker-project.org/use/singularity.html#slurm-job-script
Containers are built in docker and are variations of the rocker projects' rstudio server containers.

What OS/distro are you running

$ cat /etc/os-release

How did you install Singularity

Write here how you installed Singularity. Eg. RPM, source.
