So this would be the initramfs script:
mkdir -p /stock /session
mount -o move $rootmnt /stock
mount -o remount,rw /stock
mkdir -p /stock/var/{session,coverup}
mount --bind /stock/var/session /session
mount --bind /stock/var/coverup /stock/var/session
mount -t aufs aufsroot $rootmnt -o br=/session=rw:/stock=ro

Good evening!
Just started getting into aufs, and really linux for that matter, and I'm
very impressed with certain features, aufs being one of them!
What is a standard method for mounting a rw layer over the top of my root
fs?Â
I want to be able to make changes to my stock OS and be able to revert them
without re-installing.Â
So, where can I keep the overlay directory? Or how should I do this?
I'd like to keep it on the root fs, but I get (overlapped) errors. Since you
can stack mounts on top of each other, I thought I had an ingenious solution
using bind to cover up the directory that overlaps, but why didn't it work?
Thank you.
