I have removed the unnecessary modules listed in /etc/modules. But lsmod shows that there are 74 modules loaded, and 27 modules whose "used by" columns show 0.yes, probably so. most of kernels get loaded when (first) used, but not unloaded. I guess hotplug scripts load modules for every existing piece of hardware for the system to be able to use it. If you'd blacklist them, you won't be able to use them, and some of your startup scripts may fail. You can however check /etc/modules for modules you do not really need and remove them.
So can I list all of these unused modules in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/?By the way, does /etc/hotplug/blacklist have the same function of /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/? In my system, there are both.
