Hi All, we use aufs in order to provide a read-write interface for the "CernVM File System", an HTTP read-only file system we use to distribute physics data processing applications. As Scientific Linux (a RHEL clone) is our primary platform, we created an aufs2.1 branch based on aufs2.1-32 that allows us to compile aufs into the RHEL6 kernel.
Perhaps this turns out to be useful for someone else, too. The RHEL6 branch aufs2.1-32-rhel6.3 can be found here: https://github.com/cvmfs/aufs2-standalone In order to keep the changes minimal, aufs is compiled into the kernel (not as a loadable module). Also, neither the proc_map patch nor the loopback patch is used. The rpmbuild command we use is rpmbuild --define "%variant -aufs21" --with firmware -ba kernel.spec Some resulting RPMs can be found here: https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/kernel/ Cheers, Jakob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
