I know from the documentation I read that you can't modprobe from within a OpenVZ container. I have to load the modules I need from the host machine. Problem is my program still is not seeing the module.
So my question is do I have to tell OpenVZ to allow the containers access to the extra module(s) or can it just access any modules loaded on the host system by default?
If it can just access any modules I would say the problem lays within my program. Mostly just checking to see if I missed a step before I go digging.

Generally speaking, you are allowed to access a module as far as it is loaded on the HN.
But some modules (e.g iptables) are special in sense that a VE have to be restarted.
