o news - in aufs3-standalong.git, introduce two new patches, vfs-ino.patch and tmpfs-ibitmap.patch. aufs3-loopback.patch has existed since many years before, but not described. Other two patches are introdued by the neighbourhood of this commit.
There several other patches in aufs3-standalone.git. They are all optional. When you meet some problems, they will help you. - aufs3-loopback.patch Supports a nested loopback mount in a branch-fs. This patch is unnecessary until aufs produces a message such like "you may want to try another patch for loopback file". - vfs-ino.patch Modifies a system global kernel internal function get_next_ino() in order to stop assigning 0 for an inode-number. Not directly related to aufs, but recommended generally. - tmpfs-ibitmap.patch Keeps the tmpfs inode number as the lowest value. Effective to reduce the size of aufs XINO files for tmpfs branch. Also it prevents the duplication of inode number, which is important for backup tools, aubrsync or other utilities. When you find aufs XINO files for tmpfs branch growing too much, try this patch. J.
