beaglebone black insmod modprobe g_mass_storage did NOT work

How to insert module g_mass_storage.ko?

It is located at /lib/modules/3.8.6/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/ with -rw-r--r-- permissions.

# insmod g_mass_storage.ko

Output: Error: could not load module g_mass_storage.ko: No such file or directory 

# modprobe g_mass_storage.ko

Output: FATAL: Module g_mass_storage.ko not found.

How do we fix this?

# uname -a

Output: Linux beaglebone 3.8.6 #1 SMP Sat Apr 13 09:10:52 CEST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux

Solution

  • We discovered that there is g_multi module that is conflicting with g_mass_storage
    rmmod g_multi allowed to insert g_mass_storage.

    However, g_multi solves the purpose of g_mass_storage.
    This worked:
    # modprobe g_multi file=/tmp/auto_storage removable=y
