We have a volume filter kext that we would like to start operating/

How can we make that happen?
I've tried a few flavors of installing the kext file, and touching /
System/Library/Extensions/ but when an appropriate drive is inserted,
the kext is not loaded. Of course restarting causes everything to work
just dandy.
How do we get the kext cache to notice our new file?
Thanks for the help,

Try running "/sbin/kextload <path to your kext>". There's a man page
for this tool as well.
That won't work in the general case, because your kext may not match
anything at load time, and will eventually get unloaded automatically
by kextd.
The right solution is here:

Short answer is on 10.3 or later send SIGHUP to kextd if it's
running. If it's not, require a restart.
