It depends what you define as "current behaviour". The current behaviour in 5.2-rc2 is that modules are probed from modules.sqfs during boot, copied to /lib/mdoules and loaded. This is extremly convenient if you have (boot) time and space. Also updating a kernel requires to replace the kernel, initmod and modules.sqfs. New dependencies will be resolved with next boot. The drawback is, that it is not possible to delete the 9MB modules.sqfs and that it always probe, copies and load modules.sqfs. The idea is to have a parameter in leaf.cfg to save the probed modules to moddb, which is a lot smaller and to speed up boottime using moddb instead of moduels.sqfs. I believe this is inline with your arguments for small machines. The code to save to and use moddb isn't really working yet, at least for me. But I think we should have that ready when releasing the next rc with modules.sqfs insteasd of modules.tgz. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
