[gentoo-user] Recent 'breakage' of kernel module auto-loading?

[gentoo-user] Recent 'breakage' of kernel module auto-loading?

[walt]

For months I've been using apps that need the tun and fuse kernel modules,
and I've never needed to modprobe those two modules until about a week ago.
The modules were loaded automagically when those apps started up. (I never
understood how that happened, BTW.)

Suddenly those two apps won't start until I manually load those kernel
modules first.  Anyone else seeing this new behavior?

Yeah, months and months ago. I didn't gave much thought to the matter,
I just created /etc/modules-load.d/fuse.conf, with the single line
"fuse" (don't use tun).

That works with systemd, but I think they were thinking in adding
support for modules-load.d in OpenRC.

Regards.
