FATAL: Module fanotify not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.21-v8+

Troubleshooting

Hi,

i have a fresh installed dietpi V8 system. I want to use fanotify. So i searched and find the module:

sudo find / -name fanotify
/proc/sys/fs/fanotify
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.21-v8+/samples/fanotify
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.21-v8+/fs/notify/fanotify

but modprobe doesn’t work:

sudo modprobe fanotify
modprobe: FATAL: Module fanotify not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.21-v8+

Are there other options i have to activate?

Kind regards
splitti

I guess you are running Raspberry Pi?? Maybe you need to ask RPi developer why the module is missing because we don’t maintain RPi kernel ourself.
