Subject: The lkrg.service for systemd
You provide the lkrg.service file for systemd. It basically loads/unloads the
LKRG module and currently has the following boot dependencies:
After=basic.target
Before=network.target
There's another service called systemd-modules-load.service which takes care
of loading any modules defined in /etc/modules or /etc/modules-load.d/ . It
has the following deps:
Before=sysinit.target shutdown.target
The difference here is *basic.target* vs. *sysinit.target* . According to[1]
sysinit.target is a way earlier in the boot chain than basic.target. In the
case of my system, systemd-modules-load.service is started almost at the
beginning of the boot phase, and the network.target (which is in Before= in
lkrg.service) is almost at the end of the boot process.
Wouldn't be better to use the same deps as in systemd-modules-load.service ?
What about other inits? Not all of the available init systems use this
.service file. Maybe is it better to provide a file with the module name and
place it under /etc/modules-load.d/ , so all the inits be supported? What do
you think?
