Hi all !
Yesterday I have installed unionfs 1.1.4 on SUSE Linux 10.0 (x86) -
2.6.13 suse-kernel-default.
The problem is - unionfs doesn't work ! Unionfs compiled and installed
well, but ! I can't mount anything !
I did: (load the LKM first - I did it manually)
linux:/ # insmod /lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/fs/unionfs/unionfs.ko
linux:/ # lsmod | grep union
unionfs 296228 0
linux:/ # mkdir /branch_rw /branch_ro /union
ATTENTION: Now - I copied the example string from unionfs man page:
linux:/ # mount -t unionfs dirs=/branch_rw=rw:/branch_ro=ro unionfs /union
And that's what I got:
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .
Any ideas why it wasn't mounted as in the example ?
I did:
linux:/ # mount | grep union
and the test returned nothing. (which means nothing was mounted)
Please Help !
-any suggestion ?
