> You don't get the problem here. --- Probably :) My experience is only of situations where there might be 4 duplicate files in different aufs branches, so I find all 4, then review the aufs mount sequence and finally review the aufs r/w branch (in case it has been updated unexpectedly).
so if /mnt/aufs has aufsbranch1 aufsbranch2 realdirectory1 realdirectory2 This is an issue with your implementation, as I suspect many keep the aufs branches in their own path (/mnt/aufs without real directories) What I might understand is that xorg.conf is a file I want to find, and it exists 12 times in 96 branches of over 640,000 files yet there are only 4 exact filenames with the complete path of /etc/X11/xorg.conf that create a conflict I need to resolve. So the "useful tool" must identify - aufs branch - aufs load sequence - file path - file name It takes 4 seconds on my system to issue this find command find /mnt/aufs -name 'xorg.conf' | grep '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' Note I do NOT search the / root path where a file will exist both in the aufs root overlay and the /mnt/aufs branches .. that would take hours! What did I miss in understanding the problem and the frequency of it's challenge?
