I'm currently creating a live linux distribution (to be used with USB-flash-drives) using aufs. I have 3 layers:
* a squashfs-base-layer containing the OS itself * an ext2-layer (within an image file) containing all changes made by the user * a ramdisk containing all changes made in the current session I have a script the copies down all files from the ramdisk-layer to the image-file-layer and then tries to remove the files from the ramdisk-layer. As long as no files are kept open everything works fine. I check all files whether they are opened or not before removing them from the ramdisk-layer. It seems that I must not remove any file within a directory if only a single file within that directory is kept open - otherwise I end up with an empty directory (seen by aufs - in the layers everything looks fine). This is definitely *not* a problem with whiteout-files.) I used the "udb=reval" and "udb=inotify" options - but without success. And worse, sometimes I (logically) lose files even when I make all those checks. Any ideas?
