Hai,
I am trying to write a file system module to kernel version 2.6.5. It requires no specific device interface. when I insert the module and mount the filesystem by command
mount -t myfs none /mnt
it fails (which is expected). Then when i try to unload the module it says module is in use and lsmod shows a use count of 2. I want to know how the count is incremented for a file system driver after mount command and how it can be disabled if possible for debugging purpsoses.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
