I build my own kernel with ABS.

To allow my nspawn container to load kernel modules, I must add this to nspawn unit file: --capability=CAP_SYS_MODULE.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work and needed modules are not loaded from container but only from host. I realized there is no #define CAP_SYS_MODULE in /usr/lib/modules/4.1.2-2-ARCH/build/include/linux/capability.h.

Is this specific to the arch kernel ?

Thank you for hints.

It was moved to include/uapi/linux/capability.h recentlyish. As for your actual issue, SYS_CAP_MODULE isn't listed in the valid capabilities for --capability in the systemd-nspawn manpage. Are you perhaps confusing options? Regards, ~Celti
