'-' is a commonly used part of a module name, and does not mix well with ramdom user provided names. We usually use ':' as the prefix separator for modaliases, when user-supplied strings are prefixed with the subsystem. I think it would be nicer to change that, and I'm sure some creative guy calls the next filesystem of the month fs-$something :) Kay _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
