Hello J. R. Okajima: Thanks for your reply! Just as you said, my use-case is mounting file system in initramfs. Without ramfs support I can't mount file system when booting in initramfs. I'm thinking whether it is possible to make aufs2 support ramfs again. And I've read the history, it seems that aufs1 got temporary support for linux-2.6.28. So if aufs2 can't support ramfs mount, I will look back to the aufs1 and try it. Anyway, Thank you very much! TualatriX

The aufs1 > works well with ramfs. I need this feature. In technically, ramfs and readonly aufs can be a branch of aufs. Actually aufs1 supported them, as you wrote. A readonly aufs branch requires CONFIG_AUFS_ROBR and it was dropped from aufs2, because I think there is no user of it. A ramfs is transitting tmpfs and the only use-case of ramfs left is rootfs, I am afraid. Please try replacing ramfs by tmpfs, if you can. J. R. Okajima References 1. mailto:[email protected]
