In my humble opinion, such applications are broken. They will already break when, for example, $HOME is shared over NFS, and different hosts are not completely in sync, version-wise. > As a possible solution, what about putting user accounts under aufs as > well?

This seems like a good idea, so I second it, because applications often are broken. It might be good to optionally allow /home to be excluded. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
