Another case where sysctls need to be set for a module, but sysctl.conf is
processed before the module is loaded. Makes one almost tempted to have
/etc/modules/linux.conf which would look something like:
before_load {
};
after_load {
sysctl compat.linux.osname="FreeBSD";
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease="4.4-STABLE";
};
before_unload {
};
after_unload {
};

Hi,
I usually use /etc/sysctl.conf to modify two parameters
compat.linux.osname=FreeBSD
compat.linux.osrelease=4.4-Stable
The reason behind this is to be accounted for FreeBSD instead of Linux
... some day will have native freebsd code...
I get this result now:
%sysctl -a | grep os
...
pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard
<118>unknown oid 'compat.linux.osname'
<118>unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease'
<118> hostname
<118> media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
