Hi, im trying to get aufs as root drive but cant find any GOOD informational links.
Just a lot of half way not so well explained scripts...
The thought is to get my /dev/sda2 which is my root to be mounted ro and a tmpfs as mounted over it so everything that is written to / is written the tmpfs.
I have never used aufs before but from what i can understand it's only to do like this.
# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /rw
# mount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/sda2 /ro
# mount -t aufs -o dirs=/ro:/rw /
And then convert it into fstab structure and put it in fstab.
But still there has to be some kernel modules or alike and a lot of other requierments ?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 and have made a minimal (custom) install from a server install cd without adding or removing any extra packets.
Any help would be appreciated.
