Hi everyone,

recently util-linux 2.39 was released.
In this release the mount(8) command and libmount where changed to use
the new fd-based mount API found in newer kernels.

Unfortunately the old(?) option syntax in aufs using colons, instead of
equality signs, does not work anymore with the new mount(8) using the
new kernel API.

This does not work:
    mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/rw none /tmp/aufs

This does work:
    mount -t aufs -o br=/tmp/rw none /tmp/aufs

Would it make sense from aufs side to update the docs to use the
equality sign based syntax?
It seems to be supported as well as the colon-based one.

Thanks,
Thomas
