Hello everyone and thank you all for replying. I'm actually studying the chapter 5.4.1 manual and i started with the following command [~] insmod /usr/src/pvfs2/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko -bash: insmod: command not found It outputs "command not found" and it doesn't recognise the "insmod" command.What can i do in order to fix it?
