Hello, I'm still trying to fix the problem with posixovl+aufs. I was debugging it with Jan Engelhardt (posixovl author) and he thinks it may be an aufs issue. The following script will make the error:
#!/bin/bash mkdir dir1 touch dir1/something mkdir union mount.posixovl dir1 mount -t aufs -o br:dir1=rw aufs union The mount call fails at test_add, line 377, because it thinks nlink=0. If we run 'mount.posixovl' with -d parameter (debug), we can see that nothing access the mounted directory dir1 at all during the aufs mount, GETATTR is not called, so it seems aufs can not know nlink properly. If we stat the dir1 and after then we mount aufs, it's OK. Jan suggests the following: > Try replacing aufs/opts.c, > near line 422: > err = path_lookup(add->path, lkup_dirflags, &add->nd); > use "lkup_dirflags | LOOKUP_REVAL". (One would have to add it to > more places like branch deletion) Would you please consider Jan's suggestion?
