ifb0 and fireqos issue

[bodleytunes]

Hi All

Newby here... I'm trying to run fireqos on my cloud hosted prox install but its moaning about not having the ifb modules available.

Is there a way I can add this module to the kernel?

Cheers!

Jon.

Hi,

I assume that you run fireqos as a LXC container or directly on the Proxmox VE host itself?

the module is included in our Kernel package but not loaded by default as the host normally doesn't uses it.

Execute as root:

modprobe ifb

to load it, that should do it.

Ok thanks for that!

Will try tonight ... it's running on the host itself.

Cheers!

Jon.

Hi,

I tried that but it doesn't work

root@Debian-85-jessie-64-minimal:~# modprobe ifb
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ifb': Exec format error

This is a proxmox build at Hetzner.... Could it be they have fudged about with the kernel?

Cheers!

Jon.

Could be the case, they do some custom stuff AFAIK...

Does the following output something valid:

modinfo ifb
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ifb.ko

Have you updated the kernel without rebooting, that could be also some cause of problems.

Worth a punt to reboot as I did do a dist-upgrade the other day, can't remember about rebooting actually!

Cheers,
Jon.

Reboot sorted it!

root@Debian-85-jessie-64-minimal:~# ifconfig ifb0

Thanks the help and sorry for wasting your time!
