Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.2.2-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man5/modules.5.gz
man 5 modules and /etc/modules make it very clear /etc/modules is for
adding modules at boot.
But there is no mention of the file for taking away modules at boot!
Someone told me: "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist But you should probably
create your own file so that it will not be overwritten on upgrades.
Something like /etc/modprobe.d/local-blacklist."
(Maybe I can just say "blacklist xxx..." in /etc/modules?)
So all this should be documented at least somewhere in the SEE ALSO of
man 5 modules at least.
P.S., there,
SEE ALSO
depmod(1) modprobe(8) modprobe.conf(5)
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt
depmod is in (8), not (1). And maybe that path is wrong? needing a
directory after /Documentation?
$ tar tf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2|fgrep modules.txt
kernel-source-2.6.8/Documentation/debugging-modules.txt
kernel-source-2.6.8/Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt
kernel-source-2.6.8/Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt
Or maybe it would be better stated as one of these:
$ dlocate modules.txt
