discover-modprobe(5,8)(8)                                      discover-modprobe(5,8)(8)



NAME
       discover-modprobe(5,8) -- kernel module loading using discover(1,3,5)(1)

SYNOPSIS
       discover-modprobe(5,8) [-n]  [-v]

Description
       discover-modprobe(5,8)  loads kernel modules identified by discover(1,3,5). It will
       typically be invoked automatically at boot time.

Options
       -n        Echo the modprobe(5,8) invocations instead of running them.

       -v        Be verbose.

Files
       /usr/local/etc/discover-modprobe.conf
                 This configuration file(1,n) defines the types of modules to  load(7,n)
                 by default, and specific modules not to load.

       /usr/local/var/state/discover(1,3,5)/crash
                 A  crash  file(1,n) written and erased each time(1,2,n) discover-modprobe(5,8)
                 attempts to load(7,n) a module. If the file(1,n) 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(1,8) the future.
