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!

     Yes.

     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.
