Kernel module blacklist not working
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm trying to figure out how to blacklist modules, and I'm trying it on the USB storage. Unfortunately it seems to have no effect, and I get the module in even if it's not used (apparently).
My experiment is taking place on an Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS.
raptor@raptor-VirtualBox:/etc/modprobe.d$ lsmod | grep usb
usb_storage 39720 0
usbhid 46054 0
hid 82511 2 hid_generic,usbhid
raptor@raptor-VirtualBox:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat blacklist.conf | grep usb
blacklist usb_storage
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd

Your problem probably results from the fact that a copy of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf is located in the initramfs. When you reboot your computer, it is still using the old copy that doesn't contain your change. Try to rebuild the initramfs with the following command and then reboot:
sudo update-initramfs -u
