[E1000-devel] Fw: Enable VF only on 2nd 82576 port
If I load the driver with modprobe igb max_vfs=0,1 which would mean 0 VFs in PF 0 and 1 VF on PF 1 then I get an error saying 0,1 invalid for parameter max_vfs. So it's not working this way.

It also gives me that same error with 1,1. I run the latest driver from Linux net-next development tree btw, so this is not an out-of-tree driver version, this is the one that ships with the Linux kernel. I'm on Linux 3.3.0-rc6.

Try modprobe igb max_vfs=-1,1 -- Spelling via autocorrect, please fogrive me On Mar 30, 2012, at 3:10 AM, Jemma Jones jemmajone...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: If I load the driver with modprobe igb max_vfs=0,1 which would mean 0 VFs in PF 0 and 1 VF on PF 1 then I get an error saying 0,1 invalid for parameter max_vfs.
