Release Note for aufs2-base2-2.6.27
J. R. Okajima
Jan 26 2009

This version of AUFS has several purposes.
- to be reviewed easily and widely.
- to make the source files simpler and smaller by dropping several
  original features.

Through this work, I may find some bad things in original source code
and have a chance to fix them. Some of the dropped features will be
reverted in the future, but not all I'm afraid.
If you are using AUFS currently and don't need the dropped features,
then I'd recommend you to use this version.

To Use This Version
- plain linux-2.6.27
- apply the numbered patches in this order.
  + 01-splice-2.6.27.patch
  + 02-nameidata_to_filp-2.6.27.patch
  + 03-lookup-2.6.27.patch
  + 04-ecryptfs-2.6.27.patch (optional, if you use ecryptfs)
- apply aufs2-base2-2.6.27.patch
- make menuconfig, and enable CONFIG_AUFS_FS
- build your kernel, install and reboot.
- build aufs2-util and install.
- almost all information about the CVS version are still valid,
  except the dropped features and below.

If you find something wrong, please let me know (or aufs-users ML). It
will be surely drive me ahead and really appriciated.

Changes from aufs1-base1
- NFS branch (except atomic-open in NFSv4)
- aufs-util (with new ioctl)
- the module parameter 'brs' set to 1 by default.
- several internal enhancements
