Here are the contents of /proc/mounts: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/hda2 /.squashfs squashfs ro 0 0 /dev/hda2 /sbin squashfs ro 0 0 /dev/hda2 /usr squashfs ro 0 0 /dev/hda2 /lib squashfs ro 0 0 /dev/hda2 /bin squashfs ro 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /usr aufs rw,si=ba4cb5a9,xino=/.aufs/usr/.aufs.xino,br:/.aufs/usr=rw:/.squashfs/usr=ro 0 0 none /lib aufs rw,si=ba4cb6a9,xino=/.aufs/lib/.aufs.xino,br:/.aufs/lib=rw:/.squashfs/lib=ro 0 0 none /sbin aufs rw,si=ba4cb7a9,xino=/.aufs/sbin/.aufs.xino,br:/.aufs/sbin=rw:/.squashfs/sbin=ro 0 0 none /bin aufs rw,si=ba5bd989,xino=/.aufs/bin/.aufs.xino,br:/.aufs/bin=rw:/.squashfs/bin=ro 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If xino files are keeping the rootfs busy, can I try using tmpfs for xino files while mounting aufs ( xino=/dev/shm/xino ) ? Is it ok to do that ?
