The kernel can also load modules from KLD files "on its own" via kern_linker.c:linker_load_file(). An example of usage is in vfs_syscalls.c:mount(), where if a specified file system configuration structure (vfsconf) is not found in the list of 'configured' file systems, mount(2) attempts to load a module for the file system, if one exists. -- |Chris Costello <chris@calldei.com> |Debugger: A tool that substitutes afterthought for forethought. `--------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
