I have hunders of servers netbooted with an aufs overlay (/dev/sda1) of an nfs mounted root filesystem. The biggest problem that occurs in our system is something being copied up and blocking updates on the shared nfs image.
What I'm wondering is this: - is there a way to view all copied up files based on aufs data and not by searching through files locally on /dev/sda1? - is there a way to remove said copied up files other than mounting the overlay (/dev/sda1) and deleting, then mount -o remount /? The big problem I'm having is package consistency and I'm looking for a quick and efficient way to detect and handle conflicts. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
