I've removed the lhash.patch problem, there are no problems with compiling or loading the module. This time, I've decided to use the kconfig method, and I've recompiled the entire kernel. I'm using aufs 20070312.
Some more information that's probably useful is that there doesn't seem to be any specific correlation between the mount points and the errors. The confusion is specifically it assuming that a file is another directory that exists someplace else inside of the union. This other directory is sometimes on the same partition as the place where it's accidentialy mounted, and sometimes it isn't. It looks like it's rather consistent as to which files it believes are directories, and what directories it's pulling into other locations. Another clarification: "screenfuls of errors" = 406 of them. >> PS: I'm really looking forward to being able to export a union over >> NFS. is there anything I can do to help out?
