Thanks - I was scared to run the make headers_install, had assumed it
tampered with /usr/include. Realised my mistake
Everything working perfectly now, apologies for the noise (again)..
Note, could I suggest for the docs to be updated to be clearer on:
- aufs3.0 for kernel-3.0 and newer - it implies that 3.x is best (I
remember this confusion surrounding the main aufs module also?
- Example of the make command line in the form (rather than the
suggestion to edit the Makefile
CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/src/linux/usr/include" make
- Urge people that make headers_install doesn't actually change the
distro headers, only the ones in the kernel source tree
Thanks for the wonderful aufs!
