--vkx5rhddyn7egncs Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi all, I would like to change in FreeBSD 12 at least the default order the modules are found/look up. For now the modules are loaded from /boot/kernel first then if not found, checked from /boot/modules. I think we should revert that to /boot/modules first then /boot/kernel. The main reason being to simplify multiple things: 1/ If one needs to change a module (like backporting) I could install it from package and it would take precedent from the one provided by the default kernel I'm using 2/ As a hacker I could build my own version of a given module and install it in /boot/modules I won't overwrite the default kernel module 3/ as a port maintainer I could provide my own version of the module that would take precedence over the one provided by the kernel. As it is a change in the default behaviour I would only do it for 12 (beside I would love to do it in earlier version :D) Anyone has an opinion on the subject?
