Comment 5 Pavel Moravec 2020-01-16 09:43:47 UTC
During some testing (mhradilek++), we found out that sosreport can load several additional modules:

(*) binfmt_misc - this was loaded by calling "sysctl -a" command; I am unsure if we really want to stop collecting "sysctl -a" when this module is not loaded

(*) overlay - seems it is loaded by any first sosreport run, even by "sosreport --list-plugins", but it never re-loads after "rmmod overlay" (?)

(*) nf_tables and nfnetlink - loaded by running "nft list ruleset" command that must be called with kmods=[nf_tables,nfnetlink] predicate


https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/1919 filed in upstream, we will decide later if worth fixing it in 8.2 or not.
