Try it yourself
An example you can run in a temporary verification environment.
rmmod --help 2>&1 | sed -n '1,8p'Expected result
rmmod [options] modulenameに相当する使用法Key points
- VG aggregates PVs
- Capacity is allocated to LVs
- Free extents are managed
Notes
- Environment: kmod rmmod / ヘルプ表示のみ
- Prefer read-only inspection or a disposable system when testing hardware commands.
- Device visibility and module behavior depend on the host and virtualization environment.
