module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Description

This module provides definitions to manipulate modprobe.conf (5) stanzas:

  • kmod::alias
  • kmod::install
  • kmod::blacklist

It depends on Augeas with the modprobe lens.

Usage

This module has five main defined types:

  • kmod::load
  • kmod::alias
  • kmod::option
  • kmod::install
  • kmod::blacklist

kmod::load

Loads a module using modprobe and manages persistent modules in /etc/sysconfig/modules

  kmod::load { 'mymodule': }

kmod::alias

Adds an alias to modprobe.conf, by default /etc/modprobe.d/<name>.conf is assumed for a filename.

  kmod::alias { 'bond0':
    source => 'bonding',
  }

Params:

  • source: Name of the module to alias
  • aliasname: Name of the alias (defaults to the resource title)
  • file: File to write to (see above default)

kmod::option

Adds an option to modprobe.conf

  kmod::option { 'bond0 mode':
    module  => 'bond0',
    option  => 'mode',
    value   => '1',
  }

  kmod::option { 'bond0':
    option => 'mode',
    value  => '1',
  }

Params:

  • option: Name of the parameter to add
  • value: Value of the parameter
  • module: Name of the module (if ommited, the resource title is used)
  • file: File to write to (defaults to /etc/modprobe.d/<module name>.conf)

kmod::blacklist

Manages modprobe blacklist entries. Blacklist entries prevents module aliases from being used, but would not prevent the module from being loaded. To prevent a module from being loaded use kmod::install

  kmod::blacklist { 'foo': }

Params:

  • file: File to write to, defaults to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

kmod::install

Manage modprobe install entries

   kmod::install { 'pcspkr': }

If you want to ensure that module can't be loaded at all you can do the following:

   kmod::install { 'dccp': command => '/bin/false' }

Params:

  • file: File to write to (defaults to /etc/modprobe.d/<module name>.conf)
  • command: (optional) command associated with the install, defaults to /bin/true

Using the module with hiera

The module makes available lists for every defined type that will create those defined types if defined as class parameters. The parameters are:

  • kmod::list_of_blacklists:
  • kmod::list_of_aliases:
  • kmod::list_of_installs:
  • kmod::list_of_loads:
  • kmod::list_of_options:

Example usage:

---
kmod::list_of_blacklists:
  'foo01': {}
  'foo02': {}
  'foo03': {}
kmod::list_of_aliases:
  'foo01':
    source: 'squashfs'
    aliasname: 'squash01'
  'foo02':
    source: 'squashfs'
    aliasname: 'squash02'
kmod::list_of_installs:
  'dccp':
    command: '/bin/false'
  'blah':
    command: '/bin/true'
kmod::list_of_loads:
  'cramfs': {}
  'vfat': {}
kmod::list_of_options:
  'bond0 mode':
    module: 'bond0'
    option: 'mode'
    value: '1'
  'bond0':
    option: 'mode'
    value: '1'
