Hi Michael, Thank you for your report. "Michael Niederle": > Junjiro added a patch that allowed for changing file ownership which > originally did not work correctly (thanks again!) and I happily used aufs for > more than two years.
Unfortunately I am unsure which patch you mentioned. Is it a special/personal patch only for you, or generic one already merged? > An important caveat I found was that one *should not* replace a directory by a > file or vice versa! As far as I know, udba=inotify tries supporting such case. But in some cases, aufs has to assign a new inode number for it, which means some applications may not continue working and you have to restart them. > Since kernel 2.6.32 I now use btrfs that's astonishingly stable by now and > which performs great on flash-memory-pen-drives. > > I continue to use aufs (in combination with squashfs) for storing > incremental backups. I have heard that btrfs has a feature like unioning. Are you using it? Does it work well? J. R.
