Description Sergio Basto 2020-10-09 09:22:42 UTC

running: 
   ps -ef --cols=800 | grep -e depmod -e 890465 -e 890464 -e 890223 [1] 


22 minutes and count , weak-modules are running in a core i5 with a fast SSD and 8 Gigas of memory . 

weak-modules are available on EL7 , because they can be used when KABI doesn't change , in Fedora every kernel update KABI changes .

More errors we are seeing with this not useful feature [2].

How we can disable weak modules ? 

Thank you

I found many empty weak-updates dir and remove it , maybe that is the cause , I used dkms for a while 

cd /usr/lib/modules
rmdir -p 5.6.11-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/
rmdir -p 5.6.13-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/
