When you meet some problems, they will help you. You +can find them in the documentation directory. + + - 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/tmpfs-idr.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. |
