This must be my ignorance but compiling new kernel (in a debian way with
make-kpkg) with aufs patch gives me following error messages:
CC [M] fs/aufs/module.o
In file included from fs/aufs/branch.h:26,
from fs/aufs/aufs.h:63,

(didn't get any extra info with 'aufs debugging feature' enabled)
Perhaps following info of my system is important:
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)
aufs from CVS:
20070226
My original problem is the same as someone has described in the message:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/2007/02/msg00014.html
And in my own message:
http://knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26812
I can compile aufs module fine but it don't work in my remastered
Knoppix 5.1.1 (giving segmentation fault message during boot process or
just booting my hd installed version - not compressed image from CD). I
have not modified Klaus Knopper's original linuxrc file (aufs works fine
with 2.6.19 kernel in original Knoppix 5.1.1) Anyhow my liveCD boots
fine from Qemu and same aufs module works fine in hd installed system.
I would prefer patching kernel tree directly with aufs patch than
compiling it afterwards (make -f local.mk), if it could be possible.
Some more questions:
- Is someone going to maintain an APT repository of aufs source? So
it could be compiled in Debian as other extra modules outside the kernel
tree (option --added-modules).
- Unionfs is going to be included on vanilla 2.6.21 from kernel.org
(if I'm right); what about aufs?
- Can aufs be used with realtime preemption kernel
(http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/)? Should aufs work on
liveCD with -rt patched kernel (I never succeeded with unionfs)?
