Hi, from /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-686-pae/modules.dep I gather that somewhere it was decided that the nf_conntrack and ipvs module are dependant on one another:
kernel/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs.ko: kernel/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.ko kernel/lib/libcrc32c.ko This is also what "modinfo ip_vs" tells me. But what if I specifically dont want to use connection tracking? We run high traffic loadbalancers and in the past connection tracking has been (more than once) a problem. So better safe than sorry (and we disable it always). But whats the reasoning for the dependency: I havent noticed this in (2.6) squeeze kernels? Is it really necessary? I cant see what's changed between Squeeze en Wheezy for this to occur. -- Cheers, Jan van den Berg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
