Hi Yuri:

Thanks for the pointer, but I'm really not seeing /proc/net/pf_ring

sudo ls /proc/net/pf_ring
ls: cannot access /proc/net/pf_ring: No such file or directory

I also have a question in regard to hugepages. By default, centOS already
has hugetlbfs mounted

grep -i huge /proc/mounts
cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb cgroup
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,hugetlb 0 0
hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages hugetlbfs rw,relatime 0 0

So before running the load_drivers.sh, I umounted /dev/hugepages

Would that cause an issue if another application is using hugepages at the
sametime as ZC_IXGBE?


Much Thanks
Morgan Yang
