Please give me these info. (from README) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you have any problems or strange behaviour in aufs, please let me know with: - /proc/mounts (instead of the output of mount(8)) - /sys/module/aufs/* - /sys/fs/aufs/* (if you have them) - /debug/aufs/* (if you have them) - linux kernel version if your kernel is not plain, for example modified by distributor, the url where i can download its source is necessary too. - aufs version which was printed at loading the module or booting the system, instead of the date you downloaded. - configuration (define/undefine CONFIG_AUFS_xxx) - kernel configuration or /proc/config.gz (if you have it) - behaviour which you think to be incorrect - actual operation, reproducible one is better - mailto: aufs-users at lists.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > I can copy the folder with no errors, but even after it gets removed, i > still am incapable of renaming original folder to "6.0" without causing > any errors: > $ cp -r 5.0 6.0 <- OK > $ rm -rf 6.0 <- OK > $ mv 5.0 6.0 <- same input/output errors After "rm -rf 6.0", does the dir named "6.0" exist in the 4th branch fs? The index of the topmost branch is 0. If you have 6 branches, then the last (bottom) branch is 5th. > Another issue is with VMware Workstation. > I have serval branches: > In br0 I currently keep all /usr /etc /tmp folders except /home > In br8 I keep /home, and it's the only branch which has /home on it. > Both br0 and br8 are rw (and /sys/fs/aufs/si_*/* confirms that). > > So, logically, if any file gets modified or created within /home > directory, should stay in br8.

If you remove the dir directly on br0 (bypassing aufs), then you should enable CONFIG_AUFS_HNOTIFY and specify udba=notify mount option. J. R.
