Description of Problem:

Redhat 7.2 does not include /etc/cron.d/kmod in the modutils package, which means that unused (autoclean) kernel modules will not be removed from memory! 



Version-Release number of component:

modutils 2.4.6-4 as shipped with Redhat 7.2



How Reproducible:

Default upgrade from 7.1



Actual Results:

Unused modules never unload!



Expected Results:

Unused kernel modules should unload after 2 passes of the cron task every 10 minutes. 



Additional Information:



Solution! Rebuild modutils package, adding this to the SPEC file:

[it's all in one line but got word-wrapped in Web form]



echo "*/10 * * * *  root /sbin/rmmod -as"  >$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/cron.d/kmod



And add /etc/cron.d/kmod to the list of files.
