Hi, Just gave aufs 20071015 a test and had some difficulties:
I am runnig a RHEL kernel (2.6.18 plus lots of patches). AUFS is configured: CONFIG_AUFS=m # CONFIG_AUFS_FAKE_DM is not set CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127=y # CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_511 is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_32767 is not set CONFIG_AUFS_SYSAUFS=y # CONFIG_AUFS_HINOTIFY is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_EXPORT is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_ROBR is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_DLGT is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_RR_SQUASHFS is not set CONFIG_AUFS_KSIZE_PATCH=y # CONFIG_AUFS_WORKAROUND_FUSE is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_AUFS_COMPAT is not set CONFIG_AUFS_LHASH_PATCH=y Root is a readonly nfs v3 mount. To create writeable version and pivot to it, I run: mount -n -t tmpfs none /writeable mount -n -t aufs -o br:/writeable=rw:/=ro none /mnt When running aufs 20070702, this results in writeable root I can pivot to. When running aufs 20070910, the result is the same. However 20071015 results in lots of question marks when doing ls -l on files in /mnt, zero modes, etc. I did not dig any deeper than this but though I would mention it.
