I noticed just about all the file system modules are loaded by default on boot - filesystems I'll never use. These include atleast:



Module                  Size  Used by

jfs                   182186  0 

xfs                   823190  0 

reiserfs              248223  0 

btrfs                 550402  0 

ufs                    75815  0 

qnx4                   17685  0 

hfsplus                84797  0 

minix                  36367  0 

ntfs                  101769  0

Is there anything I can do to prevent these being loaded ?

You can blacklist them in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf by adding blacklist xfs blacklist reiserfs etc. You can also create your own blacklist there. for example blacklist-mine.conf.

Still it's strange that all those are loaded. Have you started gparted before checking or are you on a live system maybe?
