I use several Debian 2.2s, with kernel module loading (i.e. no kerneld). Some systems has 'cron' others use 'anacron'. I found, that there is no crontab entry that removes unused modules from memory. However I remember in 2.1 cron ran "rmmod -a" every five minutes. (Yes, I can fix this on my own hosts. ;-) Regards Gabor -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Kernel Version: Linux gatling 2.2.17 #1 Wed Oct 18 13:29:10 CEST 2000 i586 unknown --------------------------------------- Received: (at 81768-done) by bugs.debian.org; 10 Jan 2001 09:39:09 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 10 03:39:09 2001 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from lwaxana.cistron.net (smtp2.cistron.nl) [195.64.68.26] by master.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.12 1 (Debian)) id 14GHim-0006BV-00; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 03:39:08 -0600 Received: from picard.cistron.nl ([195.64.65.20]) by smtp2.cistron.nl with esmtp (Exim 3.12 #1 (Debian)) id 14GHik-0002Ne-00; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 10:39:06 +0100 Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by picard.cistron.nl (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-6) id KAA16726; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 10:39:06 +0100 Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 10:39:05 +0100 From: Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Kiss Gabor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bug#81768: general: no autoclean Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; from [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Wed, Jan 10, 2001 at 10:23:06AM +0100 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Previously Kiss Gabor wrote: > I use several Debian 2.2s, with kernel module loading (i.e. no kerneld). > Some systems has 'cron' others use 'anacron'. > I found, that there is no crontab entry that removes unused modules > from memory.

The problem with "rmmod -a" is that: 1. it spins up the disk on laptops, which is unwanted 2. it can tickle a race in the kernel related to module unloading, which is really uwanted 3. not unloading modules generally doesn't hurt you at all Wichert. -- ________________________________________________________________ / Generally uninteresting signature - ignore at your convenience \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D |
