Getting commands to run on boot for Ubuntu 14.04

[Conanius]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to get two commands to run on boot for my machine. To run them when I have booted, I type:

sudo modprobe -r vfio_iommu_type1

sudo modprobe vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1

These, if you care, are commands that allow my KVM install to allow my pfsense VM have PCI Passthrough access to a network card in the machine.

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated

Yes. It doesn't seem to stay persistent when I reboot.

what file do I need to put that into - sorry - or are you saying just run that at the terminal prompt?

I only ask as someone suggested there is a modules file to put the commands in - I did that and it didn't work

I think the problem I have is because my first comment is using -r

I was told to put it in with the -r on the end, so effectively in my /etc/modules file I have

vfio_iommu_type1 -r
vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts =1

Gotcha.

That's worked a treat - the command in your first post - so thank you
