fuse and loop are the perfect examples of modules that should not be in modules-load.d. Take a look in the output of 'kmod static-nodes'. All these dead nodes will be created by systemd during startup, but the module will only be loaded by the kernel when some one actually try to use them. $ ls /dev/loop-control /dev/loop-control $ lsmod | grep loop $ touch /dev/loop-control $ lsmod | grep loop loop 26560 0 -- Lucas De Marchi _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
