lsmod --remove won't work for this, just saying.

Wait, can you really just blacklist it? Sounds too easy!

Sheron 12 months ago

Definitely D, that's the standard method.

I disagree, deleting the module seems extreme.

Option D is the way to go! Blacklist it.

I feel like option E is too extreme; deleting the module's directory seems unnecessary compared to just blacklisting it.

I practiced a similar question where blacklisting was the answer, so I'm leaning towards D as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about using modprobe for managing modules. Maybe option C could be relevant?

I think option D sounds right because blacklisting a module is a common way to prevent it from loading at boot.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I could see arguments for a few of these options. I might need to do a quick refresh on common customer health indicators before deciding.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Does it mean the state displayed on the Robots page, or the actual state of the robot itself? I'll need to re-read the question carefully.

No problem, I've dealt with similar issues before. I'll recommend the best approach to mitigate the risks while keeping the project on track.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward question about the table used in the A/R Statistical History Update program. I'll need to think through the different table options carefully.
