Re: unionctl -- unionfs compatibility

2007-05-17 Thread Ryan Jud Hughes
Oh, okay.  It looks like, although both work in unionfs, putting the 
branch first is the preferred form.  I'll change my scripts.

Thanks.

Re: aufs working on 2.6.21.1 (x86-64)?

2007-05-17 Thread Michael Creel
Sorry, I can't figure out how to do that. There is something that prints to 
screen, but I don't have time to read it. However, I notice that the latest 
Sidux test release for amd64 is using kernel 2.6.21.1 with aufs, so I think 
that 
the problem I'm seeing may be somewhere other than aufs. Thanks, Michael

According to pk64-aufs2.png, the message "failure bad /proc/mounts 1" is
unrelated to your problem.
Can you capture the entire message at kernel panic?
Linux Tux is hiding them. :-)

I want to know whether the aufs debug message was printed or not.

I am trying this using VMware, and I can't grab screen output to paste into a
message, so I've made two screenshots showing what happens when booting. They
are at http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/pk64-aufs.png and
http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/pk64-aufs2.png In the first, you see that
/proc/mounts exists. The first shot is right before the attempt to mount the
aufs filesystem. The second show the last part of the errors, sorry I don't have
any means to capture the first part - it flies by to fast for me to see it.

Regards, Michael
