[systemd-devel] Impact when not loading ipv6 and autofs kernel module ...

[Hoyer, Marko (ADITG/SW2)]

Hello systemd developers,

I found that systemd automatically tries to load ipv6 and autofs kernel modules, when they are not compiled in.
Could you give me a hint what is not working, when they are neither provided as kernel modules nor compiled in?

In case of autofs I found that automount units are not working any more (I would have expected this). Without ipv6 I can't find any problems by now.

So:


1.       Is there any other impact but the described one when the autofs kernel feature is missing?

2.       What impact do I have to expect in case the kernel does not provide ipv6 functionality?


Thx for any input.

Best regards
