CentOS 6.4 (amd64) stock kernel. HBA FC Accusys ACS 63200NT
I built the driver from source, insmod activates the device and I can see the 24 TB storage volume via 'parted --list' I have created a XFS files system and mounted it under /srv/
Where do I need to install the driver in /lib/modules/ ... directory tree so that it is loaded automatically when the system boots?
TIA,
If your module is replacing a driver already in the kernel tree then it should go in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/
If it's a new driver not present in the kernel then it should go in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/
and then run 'depmod -a'
BTW, you should use modprobe and modprobe -r to load and unload modules rather than insmod as modprobe understands module dependencies whereas insmod doesn't.
