CONFIG_USB_UAS & CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to module #290

Closed matthuisman closed 7 years ago

matthuisman commented 7 years ago

Having them as modules allows for forcing usb-storage mode using a modprobe.d rule

eg. /etc/modprobe.d/disable-uas.conf options usb-storage quirks=0x0bc2:0x3321:u

Should help with these sort of issues: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=26016&start=50#p187838 https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=26016#p186301

This can be done on the kernel command line: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=26016&start=50#p188320

Thank you :) I'll close the issue.

(Re-opens) Actually, is there any "downside" to making these modules? Personally I like using a modprob file instead of touching the kernel cmdline.

Also, a lot of the solutions online are the modprobe solution so a lot of users may try that first.

(Currently I use ArchLinux and have just modified the PKGBUILD to replace the Y with a M)

The down side to making it a module is that you need a initrd to use USB storage at boot time. If the initrd is ever out of sync with the kernel, USB storage will not be accessible (rootfs on HDD, etc). This also impacts those not using an initrd in embedded projects.
