aufs-utils - utils for advanced multi layered unification filesystem.
General
=======
Aufs is a stackable unification filesystem such as Unionfs, which unifies
several directories and provides a merged single directory. In the early
days, aufs was entirely re-designed and re-implemented Unionfs Version
1.x series. After many original ideas, approaches and improvements, it
becomes totally different from Unionfs while keeping the basic features.
See Unionfs Version 1.x series for the basic features. Recently, Unionfs
Version 2.x series begin taking some of same approaches to aufs's.
Utils
=====
The aufs utilities are always necessary for aufs. If you forget to install
them, your aufs may not work correctly.
o /sbin/mount.aufs, /sbin/umount.aufs
Helpers for util-linux-ng package. You should NOT invoke them
manually. Just install them by "make install".
o /sbin/auplink
Handles aufs pseudo-link at remount/unmount time. You can invoke it
manually at anytime.
o /usr/bin/auchk
Similar to generic fsck. Checks whether a branch is healthy or not
from aufs's point of view.
o /usr/bin/aubrsync
Move files from the upper writable branch to the lower branch.
If you use this script with aufs1, then you need to install aufs.shlib
to /usr/lib/aufs.shlib. Currently only the 20080211 version is tested
for aufs1.
The development of this script is sponcered by ASUSTek Computer Inc.
(http://www.asus.com/).
Kindly they agreed that I keep my aufs work as free software as it has
been.
o /etc/default/aufs
A library for shell scripts.
o /usr/lib/libau.so
A dynamic link library for "readdir(3) in user-space".
If you need this , then run "make libau.so install_ulib". And refer to
the aufs manual in detail.
