12 It does tell you. You even put it in your email. ;-) If you build xfs
13 as a module, you need to load the module, xfs. That's it.
14
15 If after you get done you need to know what modules are available to
16 load, modprobe -l , thats a lower case L by the way, should list them
17 for you. Here is mine:

20 > /lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627hf.ko

27 I don't like modules to much but I used to have to reset my sensors
28 since they would lock up sometimes. They have fixed it now so next
29 time, it will be built in like everything else.
