Thread: Changing a module parameter on an inserted module

i need change module parameter on module inserted in kernel. least invasive way this, since it's on production machine cannot reboot?
going do

code:

modprobe -r ipt_recent  modprobe ipt_recent ip_list_tot=500

(i need change ip_list_tot parameter)

code:

# modprobe -r ipt_recent  fatal: module ipt_recent in use.

hi,

# modprobe -r ipt_recent
fatal: module ipt_recent in use.

this tells ipt_recent module being used other module.
before removing module using modprobe, "used by" count should 0 module.
lsmod output check other module using xt_recent (xt_recent &
ipt_recent aliases of each other)
first remove module using xt_recent(ipt_recent) module.

code:

$ modprobe -r <module using xt_recent> $ modprobe -r ipt_recent $ modprobe ipt_recent ip_list_tot=500

don't forget re-insert module using xt_recent.

code:

$ modprobe <module using xt_recent>

hope helps.
