Hi guys, I hope to be on the right mailing list. I need to choose union fs for the embedded telecom product. The main use case is to easily restore the product to factory settings. Currently, the product uses Linux Kernel 3.4.x. >From my "google" efforts I understand that: - aufs is deemed to be overblown and unreadable code (~20k lines) - aufs is not included in Linux Kernel - aufs has a lot of features - overlayfs source code is neat and nice (~10k lines) - overlayfs is mainlined on Oct 24 2014 in Linux 3.18-rc2 (e9be9d5 overlay filesystem) - overlayfs has less features (no NFS mount for example) It seems to me, that overlayfs is the winner. At least for the factory settings use case. But the questions remains? - Q: Is there an official backport to Linux Kernel 3.4.x? - Q: And, probably, other Linux Kernel version?
