AFAIK, such thing could happen due to certain data structure(s) from that module that are continously accessed or locked. So, to avoid race condition ( and missing pointer), keeping the module in memory is the right way to do. But of course, AFAIK too, you can try rmmod -f. But the risk is all yours. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
