He said he was getting it as a secondary disk, so there won't be any module issues. You only need to worry about modules to mount the root partition. Once that's done, the rest is automatic And even if it were a root partition he was creating, having to put a module in an initrd is a pretty cheap price to pay for not having to sit through endless fsck runs in case of improper shutdowns. One extra thing to do once, compared to what could be hours of waiting potentially several times
