point taken... The whole pb started here AFAIK: "Modules that are copied manually, should be saved. Modules that are loaded from squashfs aren't added to moddb.tgz to reduce it's size." Now we can argue that a user who has enough space for leaving modules.sqfs on his boot media, will have enuogh left for a bigger moddb.lrp than necessary (except those booting from iso image, who can't remove modules.sqfs). There is a case to remove modules.sqfs even beyond space, to speed up boot time, so autodetection stops immediately due to "missing modules.sqfs". So if we go back and never write anything to /var/lib/lrpkg/mdoules.sqfs, we can get rid of the changes to update moddb properly, addinga config option to leaf.cfg etc... Andrew, will there be any other issues related to such a change? We may then think about adding variable to enable/disable using modules.sqfs, but leaving the remaining stuff untouched....??? I'll intend to provide a 5.2-rc2 soon (as-is), but we can always change this until final version if we agree on a better solution. > Now the ony flag that would come to mind is one that _forces_ the use of > modules.sqfs at boot even though moddb is present.
