I dont get at all, what you're refering to. My initial question was, wether /etc/fstab needs adaption, since mount does not list anything unionfs related. But still it works fine since I run-init (switch_root - pivot_root with initrd) into the unified filesystems. > I suggest you to execute this command just after mounting aufs. > # cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab > Additionally, if you use 'mount -o remount,... /your/aufs' later, it is > recommended to install mount.aufs. > > Current aufs produces all branch paths to /proc/mounts. > Therefore if you have a lot of branches, you may meet a limitation of a > page which is usually 4k bytes. mount(8), /etc/mtab, /proc/mounts have > this limitation. > I will try sysfs and modify aufs entry in /proc/mounts in a few weeks. > > > Junjiro Okajima > > As I said .. what I do is mount the rootfs .. then mount a new tmpfs .. then mount the unionfs (tmpfs overlays rootfs) .. then I run-init into the unified filesystems. Still mount doesnt show any unionfs/aufs related stuff (I tried with aufs and unionfs - same behavior). 'mount''s output is the same as if I wouldnt have used a unionfs at all .. (I also didnt change /etc/fstab, since I dont know wether it's required)... So what is wrong .. or to be more specific what is not wrong with it? :)
