Mr. Junjiro R. Okajima, Mr. Michael S. Zick,
thanks for your answers concerning the AUFS kernel messages.
Mr. Michael S. Zick,
1. Kernel messages
you are right, I use a Debian based Linux distribution. Thanks for
your comprehensive explanation concerning the impact of the PAM
module pam-mount on AUFS. I checked the system and couldn't find
any usage of pam-mount. First I run the following command to find
an installed binary package with libpam_mount.so:
$> dpkg -S libpam_mount
The answer was void. No libpam_mount* is installed on the system.
Next I looked into the following directories and there configuration
files:
- /etc/security I found only the file pam_env.conf. In the file
I couldn't find any hint on pam_mount.
- /etc/pam.d No of the files in that directory provides
somethings like pam_mount.
No hint on the configuration file pam_mount.conf.xml in
/etc/security or in ~/.
Thanks again for your engagement.
Mr. Junjiro R. Okajima,

The script gdm is a init script from /etc/init.d. This starts the
Debian GNOME Display Manager. The following lines show the contents
of /etc/init.d/gdm:
#! /bin/sh

Maybe this script starts other processes that interfere with AUFS.
After the GNOME Desktop session log in I listed all running
processes with the following command:
$> sudo ps aux | less -SM
The following lines show all processes that were created during
the GNOME Desktop session log in. Maybe one of these processes
interfered with AUFS:

The next lines show the AUFS kernel message that was created during
the above GNOME Desktop session log in:
[11771.764716] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[9011]: unknown option
errors=remount-ro
[11771.771709] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[9013]: unknown option

commit=0
[11771.812259] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[9019]: unknown option

Maybe the above data could help to understand why AUFS generated
the above kernel messages.
I would be very glad, if you could find some time to answer my
questions. Thanks a lot in advanced.

Robert Wotzlaw
