Hi, I love aufs but wonder if it's kernel page cache friendly.
In my setup I have a shared folder with lot's of tools, libs, etc. installed. I now mount this read-only to several locations and start the tools from there. Does this result in reduced memory usage (as it would be the case if I started the same tool several times from the same path without using aufs)? mount -t aufs -o br:/home/custom1=rw:/home/shared=rr none /home/merged1 mount -t aufs -o br:/home/custom2=rw:/home/shared=rr none /home/merged2 /home/merged1/tool /home/merged2/tool The program "tool" and its libs are of course not "overwritten" in any of the custom paths. BTW: Is aufs really no longer maintained anymore like wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnionFS) tells me? Which one is better in terms of longtime support?
