May I ask what the benefit of this change is?
Various drivers are provided by the kernel, but you only use a small
fragment of it:

$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name "*.ko"|wc -l
3047

$ /sbin/lsmod|wc -l
106

To me, it makes some sense to compress those never-used modules.


Ah, now I understand.
So it should reduce the size of /lib/modules/?

That makes perfect sense, indeed.

That folder is 43M here. Didn't backup -10 so I can't compare with uncompressed. :(
