Yes, in this case /mnt/aufs is a mount point for example slax uses /mnt/live/memory/images as a mount point for all branches
I have 96 mounted aufs squashfs modules having more than 640,000 files, and I find files searching this location using this method ... it is not time intensive at all as it is in memory. When I want to speed things up for repetitive searching, I create a file with a file listing of this area and grep filter the file. a cron job could build your "index" for you if you don't have static aufs branches (ie NFS with user activity vs sqlzma/squashfs r/o modules) On Tuesday 25 November 2008 02:06:03 am Kernel John wrote: > 2008/11/24 Chuck Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > isn't it as easy as this? > > > > find /mnt/aufs -name '*query*' > > > > where /mnt/aufs is your aufs branch and query is what you hope to find? > > What do you mean by /mnt/aufs ?
