Hi, I'm working on an embedded Linux platform using 2.6.32.16. I've successfully patched the kernel and, following a few tweaks, cross compiled the aufs user space tools.
I'd like to use aufs for the project. One thing that is puzzling me at the moment is how I could use aufs to allow /dev on my r/o root file system to be r/w. This is so that hw vendor supplied drivers can run mknod in their insmod script. I realise that for an initial successful boot into user space, /dev needs to exist and have the bare minimum of device nodes in it, eg /dev/console. Somehow I need to perform some aufs operations extremely early when user space is entered allowing /dev to be writeable. Can you offer any advice or thoughts?
