Hi guys,
Great book but I'm playing with modules and I came across what I thought I
needed in Chapter 5 (Managing the kernel modules).
For your second bit of quoted text on the page, you state:
-----------------------------
loop max_int=32
sbp2
-----------------------------
for specifying boot-time options (ironically, it's 32 loop devices I'm trying
to create!) but in the next quoted section:
-----------------------------
# modinfo loop
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-3-686/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko
license: GPL
alias: block-major-7-*
vermagic: 2.6.18-3-686 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM gcc-4.1
depends:
parm: max_loop:Maximum number of loop devices (1-256) (int)
-----------------------------
The "parm" section states "max_loop". Is the "max_int" option in your example
a typo?
Thanks,
James
