allow elements that depends on this module, to just copy the
specified files to the final directory.

modprobe

Allows to configure specific modprobe options on the image.

It contains the following functionalities:

  1. Ability to blacklist specific modules using modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. In order to use set DIB_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST to the name of your module. To disable multiple modules you can set DIB_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST to a list of string separated by spaces.

    Example:

    export DIB_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST="igb"

  2. Ability to copy specific files into /etc/modprobe.d directory, so it allows to configure settings with freedom. To achieve that, the files to be copied needs to be placed inside an specific modprobe.d directory of the element.
