As I don't need OverlayFS in my daily life, I have it here built as a module. Nevertheless, as module or built-in /me as an end-user wants to know what's going on. So, dmesg is normally my first weapon. I grep-ed trrough a bit through all the filesystems in fs/ and it is not handled unique. "Loaded" BTW is not the right term in FS-folks-jargon: The functions are called (un)register_filesystem(). $ dmesg | grep -i loaded [ 0.241037] vgaarb: loaded [ 0.241243] libata version 3.00 loaded.

I doubt... CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y Last but not least, user-space apps like GRUB trigger fs loaded. For me this is helpful. You might be bored or whatever reason I can't or don't want to understand. And just to have some fun about status informations: Check your drm (kms) driver with date and version :-). Stuff that is not maintained should be thrown out (yes, I had sent patches...). - Sedat - > Linus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
