Description Philipp Riegger 2008-11-02 12:14:38 UTC
Since version 3.5 modprobe changed in a way that it breaks my setup. I organize /etc/ with svn and modprobe parses all files in /etc/modprobe.d/.svn which leads to lots and lots of warnings like "WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/.svn/all-wcprops line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'K'". I did not find a way to prevent it from looking in that directory. I also thought, /etc/modprobe.d is not used at all if /etc/modprobe.conf exists. Any help in gettign rid of those warnings is appreciated.

i dont think it's 3.5 that has changed.  i think it's just fall out of the transition from modules.d to modprobe.d.

ive added a fix to modprobe in module-init-tools-3.6 though ...

**odd, went to add the patch file and on submit these comments were not added**

The proposed patch does not work as the full path is passed via filename:
e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/.svn  -or-  /etc/modules.d/.svn

I have attached an updated patch file that fixes the issue.

havent noticed any problems myself with .svn or .git dirs in /etc/modprobe.d/

at any rate, 3.7+ will only parse files ending in .conf, so this problem slowly "goes away" anyways
