Edit /etc/modprobe.conf.local and add the line

It sounds backwards, but it will prevent use_storage from loading
Hi Anders,
Is this because doing so 'reserves' the module for user space?
Hm, not sure what you mean by that. The "install" directive tells modprobe what to do when loading the module. If you don't have an "install", it will simply go ahead and load it. If you have one, it will run those commands *instead* of loading it. You could for example use it to run other commands before the module is loaded, for example install foo cmd1; cmd2; modprobe --ignore-install foo this will run the commands cmd1 and cmd2, and then load the module (the --ignore-install is so there isn't a perpetual loop) In the case above, with /bin/true, it will simply run /bin/true instead of loading the module, and nothing else. /bin/false would sound more logical to a human, but it returns "false" on exit, so modprobe thinks there was an error, and this would interrupt a boot, and/or give annoying error messages in the log -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
