add a module option using cli tool.

what is the proper way to add a load option to modules in scale?
so I've been looking around but couldn't find a proper way to add a load option to a module (hpsa in my instance), ie via CLI; cause using standard Debian method (add arg in modprobe.d then regenerate initramfs) doesn't seem to work for me.

So, I think you are looking to add a iSCSI driver for the HP Smart Array?

You might want to describe what you are doing and why.... it might be a developer-type question for the discord channel.

there is a method to use some old hp smart array raid cards in hba mode however for the system to see drives in HBA mode kernel (hpsa driver) needs some patches . (more info here hpsahba )

I am compiling truenas scale with the said patches pre applied, how ever I need to load hpsa driver with an option for the changes to come to effect, typical debian method seems to not work properly.

basically I want equivalent of doing the below code done via cli :

Code:

echo "options hpsa hpsa_use_nvram_hba_flag=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/hpsa.co
update-initramfs -u
