I installed a HFS module (http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/~hargrove/HFS/)
and stuck it in my /lib/modules/2.0.33 dir (I upgraded my kernel).

It seems that mount will not mount a HFS filesystem until I do an
explicit modprobe on the hfs module. Sure enough, /proc/filesystems
shows that the HFS fs module is not loaded until I modprobe it.

I thought that kerneld would do this for me. Is there any way to make
mount know about filesystem modules without having to have those modules
actually loaded in? I really don't want to have to either compile in all
foreign file system support into the kernel or manually load in the fs
modules everytime I boot.

P.S. I don't think the problem is particular to the HFS module but
applicable to any foreign fs support stuck in a module. HFS was just the
particular case where I found this problem.
