It is totally up to your root dir. As you know, aufs requires other (mounted) dirs as its branch (member dir). It means that, when you mount aufs you need other dirs already mounted. And how and when do you mount them? Usually people makes it in the initramfs and completes the root aufs and then switch_root. If you don't want to take this way, I'd suggest you to try these. - mount nothing in your initramfs script - write fstab as /dev/... / ro tmpfs /brabra aufs / aufs br=/brabra:/ Note that - it depends that your mount(8) at the boot time processes these entries one by one in the written order in fstab. Otherwise it won't work. - I have never tried this approach. J. R.
