Hello Fabio, Fabio Erculiani: > out of curiosity, what's the support status of kernel capabilities in AUFS?
If you mean capget(2)/capset(2), then aufs simply follows VFS and branch fs in it. If you mean ACL or XATTR, aufs doesn't support it currently. If I can find a common set of them, I will try supporting. But it may be hard. For instance, - you have two branch fs in aufs. - the lower branch fs supports ACL and has "foo:bar:baz" entry. - you want to change its value for a file. - aufs has to copyup the file and modify it in the upper branch fs. - but the upper branch fs may not support ACL or such entry. It means, you cannot modify ACL even if you know it exists. I don't think it a good solution. J. R.
