I have a (reproducable) problem with directory access rights. First I create a simple test squashfs:
mddir test cd test mkdir secure echo "abc" >secure/abc.txt chmod go-rwx secure cd .. mksquashfs test test.sfs then I mount aufs with a ramisk-layer above the squashfs (mount-point /save): losetup /dev/loop2 test.sfs mkdir /mnt/mp1 mount -t tmpfs -o size=10000k tmpfs /mnt/mp1 mkdir /mnt/mp2 mount /dev/loop2 /mnt/mp2 mount -t aufs -o dirs=/mnt/mp1:/mnt/mp2 none /save then I make the "secure"-directory accessable for everybody: cd /save chmod a+rx secure then I try to act as an unprivileged user ("sam"): su sam ls -ld secure drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 2008-02-07 00:35 secure everything looks fine, but ls secure/ returns "ls: cannot open directory secure/: Permission denied" also cd secure returns "bash: cd: secure: Permission denied" I downloaded the current "monday build" of aufs on January, 25th and am using the new 2.6.24 kernel. I would be happy with any clues how to get around this problem!
