Ubuntu 8.04 ships with precompiled aufs modules and kernels patched with lhash and other patches needed for aufs. Ubuntu 8.04 allows the user to boot the standard installation disk (the live disk) with aufs instead of unionfs, by using the union=aufs option. Let's see if Ubuntu 8.10 switches to aufs as the default. > > Basically, I don't support any distribution specific kernel > fully.

Well, I support Debian & Ubuntu kernels (although the latter one is more maintained by the kernel team). Debian has prebuilt aufs modules for the following 12 architectures: alpha amd64 arm armel hppa i386 (including Xen) ia64 mips mipsel powerpc (including powerpc64) s390 sparc (including sparc64) See http://packages.debian.org/aufs-modules-2.6.24 for more information about aufs modules for kernel 2.6.24 in Debian. This also includes various flavors of kernels. Support for armel (and arm) may need to be dropped for kernel 2.6.25, as these architectures do not support cmpxchg, which is needed for sysaufs (which can not be disabled anymore). > > > Junjiro Okajima > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
