Hello, how about permissions for the root user in an aufs filesystem? Should they not be the same like on a local filesystem or an NFS filesystem with no_root_squash set? I am using aufs over NFS to get a writable NFSROOT filesystem, and as root, I cannot create a file in a directory which is not "officially" writable by root, for example in my /var/lib/nfs:
root@name:/var/lib/nfs# ls -al total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 systemd-network nogroup ..... drwxr-xr-x 31 root root ..... root@name:/var/lib/nfs# touch file touch: cannot touch 'file': Operation not supported This is a real problem for me, because it prevents some boot time services from being started successfully.
