Package: aufs-tools
Version: 0+20080719-4
Severity: important
Is there a specific reason why the aufs mount script is provided
under /usr/sbin instead of /sbin?
Quoting util-linux-2.13.1.1/mount/mount.c:
[...]
if (type && strlen(type) < 100) {
sprintf(mountprog, "/sbin/mount.%s", type);
if (stat(mountprog, &statbuf) == 0) {
[...]
- so there's a different behaviour between installing
the mount script of aufs as /usr/sbin/mount.aufs vs.
/sbin/mount.aufs.
,---- [ man aufs ]
| If you dislike the difference between the aufs entries in /etc/mtab
| and /proc/mounts, and if you are using mount(8) in util−linux
| package, then try ./mount.aufs script.

You can verify the different behaviour on your own running the usage
example from the manpage:
,---- [ man aufs ]
| # mount -v -t aufs br:/day0:/base none /u
| none on /u type aufs (rw,xino=/day0/.aufs.xino,br:/day0=rw:/base=ro)
| # mount -v -o remount,\
| prepend:/day1,\
| xino=/day1/xino,\
| mod:/day0=ro,\
| del:/day0 \
| /u
| none on /u type aufs (rw,xino=/day1/xino,br:/day1=rw:/base=ro)
