- another support for loopback mount in aufs
I found a rare case which aufs (and loopN kernel thread) crashes.
To solve this problem, aufs needs another extra patch.
As far as I know (currently), the problem happens only when
+ the specified branch is overlapped
+ the backend file exists on NFS
Without the patch, aufs just warns about "the backend file may cause a
problem" once. If you meet system crash just after the warning, then
it means you need a patch. In other words, the patch is unnecessary
for most users.
See the "loopback.patch" in aufs2-standalone.git tree.
Pete, my local tests around mmap is completed.
