Yes, I want to help. I think is a aufs bug for two reasons: - unionfs don't have this bug - It is the filesystem that be corrupted > If it is a bug of aufs, I shall appriciate your report, answers, time, > endurance and everything about that. I try'ing to give all you need. > Currently I do know nothing about nash, switch_root or switchroot. Where > can I get those source code and check which systemcall was issued? nash man: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/nash.8.html switchroot is a internal command from nash, and it's like pivot_root but more complex (I think). My initrd is like this: mount -n -t aufs -o br=/etfw/.etfw_changes=rw:/cdrom/confs=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/14=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/13=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/12=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/11=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/10=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/9=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/8=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/7=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/6=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/5=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/4=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/3=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/2=ro:/cdrom/tmpdir/1=ro:/etfw=ro none /filesystem mount --move /etfw/.etfw_changes /filesystem/.etfw_changes /bin/chroot "/filesystem" /bin/bash -c 'echo radius:x:81:425:system user for freeradius:/var/log/radius/radacct:/bin/false' >> /etc/passwd exit exec nash /sbin/switch_root > /dev/null After this, is a centos 4 startup alike.
