Under include/linux, some files will be created such like autoconf.h, version.h, and compile.h. The timestamps of the dir will be updated too. So aufs will copyup the dir. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Hm, well, this patch makes aufs taint the kernel -- after bootup (which > triggers a bunch of the same), i did a simple 'ls > /usr/src/linux/include' and got the attached.

The cron job issued - mkdir - open(O_TRUNC) by makewhatis and aufs handles them with internal copyup. I don't thik they were operating /usr/src/linux/inlcude, so there was no log produced by your 'ls'. J. R.
