documentation on /etc/modules.conf 1

[tlemons]

Hi

Where can I find documentation on the values that go into modules.conf? Specifically, I want to find a list of the parameters to the sd_mod and scsi_mod options.

Thanks!

if you have the kernel source it's in /usr/src/kernel/linux/Documentation/modules.txt, or you can search google for that file. There's also a man page for modules.conf
To get parameters for a particular module on the fly, use modinfo:
~$ modinfo /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o
filename: /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o
description: "SCSI core"
author: <none>
license: "GPL"
parm: scsi_logging_level int, description "SCSI logging level; should be zero or nonzero"
parm: scsihosts string
parm: max_scsi_luns int, description "last scsi LUN (should be between 1 and 2^32-1)
