Thanks flaviof, As your email thread, I can't use the option "force-reload-kmod" to uninstall the openvswitch.ko. The error was always shown " modprobe: FATAL: Module openvswitch is in use."
My operation is as below: 1. insmod openvswitch.ko modprobe openvswitch 2. start the ovsdb-server: ovsdb-server --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options --private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key --certificate=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,certificate --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,ca_cert --pidfile --detach 3. start ovs-vswitchd ovs-vswitchd --pidfile --detach 4. add a ovs bridge ovs-vsctl add-br br0 5. remove this bridge ovs-vsctl del-br br0 until this step3, I can successful uninstall openvswitch.ko and no error shown with command: modprobe -r openvswitch but, step 5, the error " modprobe: FATAL: Module openvswitch is in use." is shown when I want to remove the kernel mode of openvswitch, in spite of stopping ovs with "pkill ovs". I have found the virtual interface named "ovs-system" with command " ifconfig -a", I guess it is the key of this issue. So what can I do to remove the "ovs-system"?
