[Bug 943119] Re: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels
Until one of unionfs or overlayfs is merged upstream and considered to be sufficient, we are going to enable aufs. We'll continue to maintain pressure to drop aufs at each development cycle in favor of an upstream solution. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Precise) Status: In Progress = Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943119 Title: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/943119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 943119] Re: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels
Tim, Thank you for the quick answer. I believe the main reason is that the documentation is basically absent for overlayfs. I spent a lot of time trying to find some but I've only found bits and pieces mainly describing at a general level how it works. I doubt that it can give me the level of control that aufs is giving me. I had 6 hard drives (a total of 11 TB of storage space) in my desktop computer (on Ubuntu 11.10) with multimedia content on them stored in a top level folder called multimedia on each drive (all 6 drives have only one partition each). Inside multimedia I have from 1 to 6 subfolders holding different categories of multimedia files depending on the source disk. Besides the multimedia top folder there are some other folders holding various data. I was using AUFS to aggregate all 6 mounting point folders (from /media) in a single merged folder called BFD through this line in fstab: none /media/BFD aufs br:/media/2TB_1=rw,br:/media/2TB_2=rw,br:/media/2TB_3=rw,br:/media/2TB_4=rw,br:/media/1.5TB_1=rw,br:/media/1.5TB_2=rw,create=tdp,sum 0 0 The policies gave me the liberty to control the behavior of AUFS exactly the way I wanted and that is: new files that are copied on BFD in a folder that originated from one of the drives to be created and stored on the same drive not not on the first writable branch with enough space available on it. I have an application that manages most of the multimedia content of BFD and while for read only access I guess any stackable unification filesystem would be be ok, but for writing, I've found that only aufs was suitable. I've also used to use mhddfs, but that one runs in userspace and on the other hand does not have the policies system so it would always write on the first drive with enough free space. So I've decided to move the 6 drives in a dedicated NAS box and implement the same mechanism that proved to be the best suitable for what I need. Once I've installed Ubuntu server 12.04 and I've moved all the drives phisically inside the NAS I attempted to re-created BFD with aufs and this was the point where I've encountered the absence of aufs support (through an error that lead me to an open bug, mentioned in this bug's description) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943119 Title: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/943119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 943119] Re: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels
I believe most are confident that overlayfs will replace aufs. However I'm concerned that there is no user-space tool, though mount -o remount might be enough. The lack of documentation and the fact that it's(or was) enabled in the config file, but not included in the package concern me. The other 'big' problem is the aufs-tools package, delete it or make it depend on the correct kernel bits. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943119 Title: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/943119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue. However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request. We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not. You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released. If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

[Bug 943119] Re: aufs.ko missing from the Precise kernels
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: I am building a NAS and I have used Ubuntu Precise server edition for it. I've been using AUFS on my desktop (with Ubuntu 11.10) for a long time now and this is the main reason why I've chosen Ubuntu server edition for my NAS over specialized NAS software like FreeNas or Open Media Vault, only to find out when actually trying to set it up that aufs support has been removed from the Precise kernels. And this information is pretty obscure and not straightforward to get it. I've found this information in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/903897 So in reply to However, I'm going to want some pretty compelling evidence for aufs. from comment #2, there's the compelling evidence.
