I'm trying to set up two different filesystem contexts. $ mkdir a b common $ mkfifo common/fifo $ sudo mount -t aufs -o br=common none a $ sudo mount -t aufs -o br=common none b If I write and read to the same fifo path (e.g a/fifo) everything works fine, but if I do shell1$ cat a/fifo ... shell2$ echo 'hi' > b/fifo nothing happens. Are the some additional options for aufs which would make this work, or am I hitting a more fundamental problem. Cheers, -max
