The unmerge will only remove the "current" version of the module, so if you have more than one kernel fully installed, the older ones will be unaffected. > I'm honestly not sure if portage will leave the old kernel module in > place when doing the switch. Looking at my kernel directory I see old > spl modules so when re-emerging spl it isn't removing the old modules. Look at the output from qlist, portage only lists the last installed module, older ones aren't removed when you reinstall on a kernel upgrade. However, this blocker requires you to uninstall spl, so the current version will be removed. I still have the file after the upgrade, but it is now owned by the zfs-kmod ebuild. % qfile /lib/modules/4.19.44-gentoo/extra/spl/spl.ko sys-fs/zfs-kmod (/lib/modules/4.19.44-gentoo/extra/spl/spl.ko) -- Neil Bothwick A printer consists of three main parts: the case, the jammed paper tray and the blinking red light.
