MODULES-LOAD.D(5) modules-load.d MODULES-LOAD.D(5)
modules-load.d - Configure kernel modules to load at boot
/etc/modules-load.d/*.conf
/run/modules-load.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/*.conf
systemd-modules-load.service(8) reads files from the above
directories which contain kernel modules to load during boot in a
static list. Each configuration file is named in the style of
/etc/modules-load.d/program.conf. Note that it is usually a better
idea to rely on the automatic module loading by PCI IDs, USB IDs, DMI
IDs or similar triggers encoded in the kernel modules themselves
instead of static configuration like this. In fact, most modern
kernel modules are prepared for automatic loading already.
The configuration files should simply contain a list of kernel module
names to load, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
first non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.
Configuration files are read from directories in /etc/, /run/, and
/usr/lib/, in order of precedence. Each configuration file in these
configuration directories shall be named in the style of
filename.conf. Files in /etc/ override files with the same name in
/run/ and /usr/lib/. Files in /run/ override files with the same name
in /usr/lib/.
Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/. Files
in /etc/ are reserved for the local administrator, who may use this
logic to override the configuration files installed by vendor
packages. All configuration files are sorted by their filename in
lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories they
reside in. If multiple files specify the same option, the entry in
the file with the lexicographically latest name will take precedence.
It is recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number and
a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.
If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied
by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to /dev/null
in the configuration directory in /etc/, with the same filename as
the vendor configuration file. If the vendor configuration file is
included in the initrd image, the image has to be regenerated.
Example 1. /etc/modules-load.d/virtio-net.conf example:
# Load virtio-net.ko at boot
virtio-net
systemd(1), systemd-modules-load.service(8), systemd-delta(1),
modprobe(8)
