Description of problem: Some kernel modules (e.g. loop, floppy, ide-cd) have incorrect ref count after their first use, which prevent them from unloading. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. modprobe loop 2. lsmod 3. take note of ref count ("Used by"), should be zero 4. losetup /dev/loopx somefile (where loopx is free loop device) 5. losetup -d /dev/loopx 6. lsmod Actual results: The ref count is NOT zero Expected results: It should be zero Additional info: It's important that you do the above steps right after loading kernel module. It may be necessary to modify modprobe.conf to make this module unavailable during system boot and enable it later. The same thing happens with floppy and ide-cd modules.
