I will try the klibc mount and nfsmount later, but at least for the aufs root I will need the regular mount. While dabbling with different ways to mount I got some new results and clarifications regarding my problem. First of all I have found that triggering the error is actually done by doing either ls / ls /aufs/server mount -o nolock,ro,proto=udp,retrans=10 192.168.0.1:/target /mnt ls /mnt will lead to the loss of all mounts on the root directory, both those inherited from the initramfs as well as those mounted by init. So one of those three actions and /proc /sys /dev /home /usr /var are gone but /aufs/xino /aufs/private /aufs/clients /aufs/server will stay. The error is not triggered by issuing ls /aufs/client ls /aufs/private ls /aufs/server/bin (or anything similar) The error is also not triggered if I mount the server-root differently mount -o nolock,rw,proto=udp,retrans=10 192.168.0.1:/target /mnt ls /mnt mount -o nolock,ro,proto=tcp,retrans=10 192.168.0.1:/target /mnt ls /mnt If I mount the server root in the initramfs in some other way, like rw instead of ro, the error stays and any of these three actions will again trigger the error: ls / ls /aufs/server mount -o nolock,rw,proto=udp,retrans=10 192.168.0.1:/target /mnt ls /mnt Something is happening on switching root at the end of the initramfs. The error is not happening in the initramfs, it happens immediatly after init takes over, I will continue to analyse this. As a possible kludge I could mount everything on subdirectorys of the /aufs directory and use symbolic links in the root, but that would be ugly.
