I do not use the kernel enabled sources however you could try a `make
oldconfig' if ever you dropped your own .config file in the kernel src
directory. Before that, you have to:
- apply ./aufs2-kbuild.patch to your kernel source files.
- apply ./aufs2-base.patch too.
- apply ./aufs2-standalone.patch too, if you have a plan to set
or for module only kernel build:
- module only (CONFIG_AUFS_FS=m).
- apply ./aufs2-base.patch to your kernel source files.
- apply ./aufs2-standalone.patch too.
Those lines are from the README file.

##### I am posing again as I am unsure if the first did not bounce
Greetings,
I am new to this list.
I download the latest aufs2-enabled kernel sources from
[4]http://aufs.sourceforge.net/. It opens into a directory named
aufs2-2.6 of ~400 mbytes size The Makefile in the base of the tree
relates to linux-2.6.39-rc2.
Relevant instructions I followed are these:-
A---
Note: The haeder file aufs_type.h is necessary to build aufs2-util
as well as "make headers_install" in the kernel source tree.
headers_install is subject to be forgotten, but it is essentially
necessary, not only for building aufs2-util.
You may not meet problems without headers_install in some older
version though.
B---
For aufs2-2.6 tree,
- enable CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL and CONFIG_AUFS_FS.
- set other aufs configurations if necessary
=====for A === I did not see any file named aufs_type.h anywhere in the
source tree.
=====for B === I did a "make menuconfig * in the aufs2-2.6 source tree
and
I did not see any options for setting CONFIG_AUFS_FS. I also generated a
dummy
kernel config file and did a grep for CONFIG_AUFS_FS and that failed
too
so I added these lines by hand:-
CONFIG_AUFS_FS=y
CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE=y
CONFIG_UFS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127=y
THEN
#------running make' yielded this to begin with:-
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
.config:3304:warning: override: reassigning to symbol UFS_FS_WRITE
.config:3305:warning: override: reassigning to symbol UFS_DEBUG
but
a)the kernel compiled .
b) I installed it and boot it
BUT
#--------I could not fine any aufs:-
root [ ~ ]# cat /proc/filesystems | grep aufs*
root [ ~ ]#
--------------
Advice would be appreciated.
Yours sincerely
sibu
