I have to admit aufs is big, but actually, as I wrote in the documents, aufs2 has already dropped several features. And I believe it is the core feature set. If aufs2 drops some more features, then both of users and reviewers will say it doesn't work in this case, in that case. I don't think you would like to review such unusable code in real world. For those who wants to begin with aufs2 principle (or basic architecture), I described and posted these documents. Actually ocfs2 and xfs are much bigger. If they have been reviewed, I'd ask you to review aufs2 too. $ cd linux/fs $ for i in *; do test -d $i && echo -n $i && find $i -type f | xargs wc -l | tail -1; done | tr -s '[[:blank:]]' | sort -n -k 2 | tail nfs 30363 total ntfs 31346 total jfs 33056 total cifs 34059 total ubifs 34721 total btrfs 43417 total aufs 46325 total nls 54855 total ocfs2 71294 total xfs 102144 total J.
