I don't think autofs4 should be loaded on all systems, but that's a systemd issue. Building it into the kernel is thus not the solution.
There is no problem with systemd, systemd REQUIRES autofs in the kernel. it is part of the basic functionality.
Ah, sorry, I had misunderstood you. Yes, I see it now, systemd itself uses autofs4.
Yep, and will attempt to modprobe in a loop at early boot if it cannot satisfy its dependencies .. currently it tries to load "autofs4", "unix" and "ipv6" modules if they are not builtin .. while emmitting a debug warning..(the other ones are already builtin in kernel so no action is required)
by letting autofs4 as a module you only slow down the boot process.
Slowing down just as with every other module which need to be loaded? Or is there anything special about it that makes it worse?
According to some tests that I do not have a reference handy but that I did read, it appears that in some systems it delays startup significantly (5secs or so.. IIRC we were not able to reproduce a delay that long though, suspect that the reporter had a seriously broken stuff going on)
This is how things are today, yes. It might change someday.
Yes, and I will let you to know if things change (read I will pester you :-D) Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
