Here is an example using the new 'shwh' (show-whiteouts) option,
available in aufs-20080310.

Maybe you'd like to check this through and include it in the cvs source?
# EXAMPLE USAGE OF THE 'shwh' OPTION -- 2008.03.11 #
I am always wondering about converting to /proc from /sys. Some people
told me that newer system should select sysfs. But the changes of sysfs
interface is painful. How do you think about procfs and sysfs?
If I may join your debate, I have a suggestion for AUFS. I always wondered why

Well it depends, if the sysfs files for brs are supposed to mimic the
/proc/mounts interface, why not use /proc/mounts for it? There's the
- -show_options callback now that should work perfectly for that,

Here's the updated patch. The old one compiled but had a few stupid
merge errors left in it that caused it to bail out early after reading
the inode. This one works as expected.

Because /proc/mounts has a size limitation.
Some aufs users had met this limitation and I developed
/sys/fs/aufs/brs.
What's the limitation? It uses seq_file, and passes the seq_file handle
to -show_options.
The maximum size of seq_file is PAGE_SIZE by default.

Tomas M:
And after then, information for every fuse-mounted filesystem appears there.
So it seems to me FUSE doesn't like sysfs as well, and thus it implements a
workaround by using a different 'virtual' filesystem.
So you could perhaps do the same for aufs?
Thank you for your
Jeff Mahoney:
Yeah, that's what I was saying. A regular seq_file will expand, but
since -show_options is called from within another -show operation, it
can't.
As far as I know a regular seq_file doesn't expand automatically.
Will you point me why do you think so?

The real cause was NOT in aufs (or unionfs), but in squashfs, more exactly
