Hi Experts,

I am building something and I am getting following error-

ERROR: The filemon module (/dev/filemon) is not loaded

Can anyone please guide me to load filemon?


Thanks,
akki

Define "something".

8 years after the intial post, just ran into this myself when trying to build my kernel. This is likely to setting the following in /etc/src-env.conf.

WITH_META_MODE=YES

I commented it out and it works just fine. Hope this helps someone else down the line!

Or you could just load the filemon module with # kldload filemon. BTW, you probably got it as a way to speed up FreeBSD builds:
