File /etc/modprobe.d/dummy.conf ignored on Ubuntu 18.04












0















With Ubuntu 16.04, I have the following file:



/etc/modprobe.d/dummy.conf


With the following content:



options dummy numdummies=12


And it works fine!



However, with Ubuntu 18.04, this isn't working anymore...



On Bionic, I have to manually run:



rmmod dummy
modprobe dummy numdummies=12


Then, it works!



So, how to do this automatically on Ubuntu 18.04 (new standard)?



Thanks!

That's not a bug, that's "by design" (although I guess some people would strongly disagree that "design" could be applicable to systemd in general).



As can be seen from this comment, the issue has been tracked down to /lib/modprobe.d/systemd.conf where systemd developers plainly and without a qualm say in comments: "…




When bonding module is loaded, it creates bond0 by default due to max_bonds
option default value 1. This interferes with the network configuration
management / networkd, as it is not possible to detect whether this bond0 was
intentionally configured by the user, or should be managed by
networkd/NM/etc
. Therefore disable bond0 creation. options bonding max_bonds=0 Do the same for dummy0.




…"



For e. g., if you'd try to modify the module parameter in the way that Ubuntu's documentation cues you'd see that finally modprobe tries to load it so:



…/dummy.ko numdummies=12 numdummies=0



And the latest given arg option effectively overrides its previous occurrences.
