⟩ What is stored at /lib/modules?

It contains all the kernel modules that needed to be loaded

into kernel (booting etc). there will some .map, .dep

(dependency files) files present.

When the kernel needs a feature that is not resident in the

kernel, the kernel module daemon kmod[1] execs modprobe to

load the module in.

You can see what modules are already loaded into the kernel

by running lsmod, which gets its information by reading the

file /proc/modules
