Jeff Hanson: > Users can't run chown because they are not root. How about writing a wrapper? Allow chown after some tests. - the target path is aufs, or /home/$USER in your case? - the target uid is $USER - etc The warpper may be implemented suid-ed, or customized /etc/sudoers.

After some considerations, I could understand why you want such feature in aufs. But as I wrote first, I don't think it is a feature of stackable filesystem. Aufs should follow and should not disturb the native behaviour of brach fs. J. R.
