The unmerge will only remove the "current" version of the module, so if |
| 7 |
you have more than one kernel fully installed, the older ones will |
| 8 |
be unaffected. |

Look at the output from qlist, portage only lists the last installed |
| 16 |
module, older ones aren't removed when you reinstall on a kernel upgrade. |
| 17 |
However, this blocker requires you to uninstall spl, so the current |
| 18 |
version will be removed. I still have the file after the upgrade, but it |
| 19 |
is now owned by the zfs-kmod ebuild. |
