Hi,
I have Fedora 21 (x86_64).
Under /usr/lib/modules/3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64/kernel, all the kernel
module are in compressed form.
(xz files).
Under
/usr/lib/modules/3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64/kernel, the kernel modules
are in the *.ko form
What are the *.xz compressed kernel modules for ? In fedora 20 we had
only *.ko files under /lib/modules.
It seems to me that after booting, when running modprobe, only the
*.ko modules are used.
Just wonder what would happen If I would (accidentally or by purpose)
delete the /lib/modules folder in fedora 21 (I don't intend to do it
before getting an answer here...)
I would not delete /lib/modules otherwise the kernel would fail I suspect.
/lib is not a physical directory as such, /lib is a point to /usr/lib,
so when you do a ls /lib/modules what you are listing is actually
/usr/lib/modules.
Regards,
Kevin
