Hello Lou, Last summer we have discussed about the inode number in aufs, particularly "How to identify which locked files are keeping an aufs branch". I hope you would remember and still be interested in aufs.
Now I am considering about a new utility auxino which receives an aufs inum and prints one (or more) inum on its branch fs. For example, - mount -o br:/a none /u - invoke u/sh, which is a/sh actually - prepend /b, /u = /b + /a - invoke u/sh, which is b/sh actually - both u/sh has 10 as its inode number (for example) - a/sh has i20, and b/sh has i30 - lsof shows i10 only for two sh processes In this case the utility will print like this. $ auxino 10 b0: 30 b1: 20 $ auxino --bindex 1 10 20 Or you may prefer another one. $ auxino --busy 1 10 ... (more inode numbers) These inodes are in use and making the branch (index 1) busy. But "--busy" will be complicated a little. So I'd ask you first two examples will be enough for you. J. R.
