NAME¶

discover-modprobe — kernel module loading using discover(1)

SYNOPSIS¶

discover-modprobe [-n] [-v]

Description¶

discover-modprobe loads kernel modules identified by discover. It will typically be invoked automatically at boot time.

Options¶

-n

Echo the modprobe invocations instead of running them.

-v

Be verbose.

Files¶

/etc/discover-modprobe.conf

This configuration file defines the types of modules to load by default, and specific modules not to load.

/var/lib/discover/crash

A crash file written and erased each time discover-modprobe attempts to load a module. If the file lingers, the computer is assumed to have crashed while loading that module, and the module name is added to discover-modprobe.conf as a module to skip in the future.
