Agreed. Default is /var/lib/modules-persist. People who have a separate /var partition that is mounted after modules are loaded can use / and specify
persist /lib/modules/persist
in /etc/modules.conf. If you have a separate /var and you do not want to write to /, change your initialization scripts to load modules after mounting /var.
