aufs support???

GI Jack · 2011-07-02 22:08:07

for reasons unbeknownst to me, the package AUFS2 was dropped for some odd reason and most of the AURs need it to build. with the previous versions not working with kernel 2.6.39, my live CD/USB stick is now dead in the water.

help?

i dropped it to for a kernel update ,but you can rebuild it from AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O … _Search=Go if you want....

OK, so which one of those works with the mainline kernel26 package, or any kernel package thats in repositories, and doesn't include AUFS2 as a build time dependecy. Or better yet, is there a source package for aufs2 I can install so the pkgbuilds work.

Also, why was this packaged dropped? Its needed for livecds/usb sticks.

OP talks about liveCD/liveUSB mediums, overlays and union filesystems, not about mounting a usb drive.

I use larch, and it it chokes without the aufs module

edit: I wrote gradgrind I told him what is going on, and hopefully I'll find a way to remove aufs from larch at least my version. I don't use any of its features, it works as a savable overlay, that my project doesn't use anyway. So I need to figure out how to remove the AUFS layer, and just use tmpfs and squashfs.

##Testing for necessary packages and kernel modules
!>ERROR:
No aufs or unionfs module found

its not like a stable working package aufs2 was pulled out of the mainline repositories or something
can someone at least give me an update on the back story of whats going on here?

edit: no, larch needs AUFS support, I'm broken. please re-enable aufs2 support and put aufs2 back in the repos. Also, everyone to thank link karol posted and vote for it.

now what package installs AUFS2 source code???? all the AURs seem to want a file named aufs_type.h and I have no idea where to find it.

edit: now call me a dinosaur, but how exactly does git work, and why don't people just release the damn source code in gzip'd tarball format anymore.

They tell you how to download in the second part, named '2. Download'. There is a couple versions (branches) to choose from.

Rather than have to compile a custom kernel, would unionfs-fuse work as an aufs replacement for your usage?
