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 ?

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/ rmdir -p 5.6.15-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.6.16-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.6.18-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.6.19-200.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.7.7-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.7.8-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.7.9-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.7.11-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.7.15-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.8.8-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.8.9-101.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/ rmdir -p 5.8.10-100.fc31.x86_64/weak-updates/
