[Unionfs] Oops: unionfs-2.1.6

[John Nielsen]

Done. 

I am running a bog standart kernel.org 2.6.22.9 vanilla kernel plus the 2.1.6 unionfs patch. The filesystem is ext3. I dont use the unionfs userspace tools. Just standard mount. 

The distribution is an in house distribution. It is very bare bones. It consists of just a kernel and glibc with the basic tools running on it. The only daemons running are udevd, dhclient, syslogd, klogd and proftpd. 

All of my unionfs use is scripted and is thus identical. I use it with a chrooted enviroment like this: 

mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/root/pkg:/mnt=ro unionfs /root/union 
mount --bind /dev /root/union/dev 
mount --bind /proc /root/union/proc 
mount --bind /sys /root/union/sys 
chroot /root/union /bin/env -i TERM=$TERM HOME=/root  

This snippet is part of our in house package manager. The  is a simple bash script that compiles and installs a given program. When the program installation is complete, we umount /root/union and zips up /pkg for deployment. Small packages are usually not a problem, but bigger compile jobs like gcc or glibc for instance will often fail. KDE is virtually uncompilable because the kernel will oops before it has a chance to finish.

Best regards,

John Nielsen
