There is so much "goo" around the module loading these days; there are incursions into "mount" and all sorts of other programs that should not know about module loading. Either load it by hand/at startup, or generalize the mechanism by adding a data page to modules to describe what they provide, and then present default fault handlers for the classes of services so that the kernel can do the demand-loading (if necessary). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
