I do not fully uderstand why root still is listed as aufs, but the writes do really hit the usb-disk (otherways dist-upgrade would have resulted in out of memory long ago). followed the url blow for the aufs-setup http://211.78.87.227/viewtopic.php?p=125219&sid=92ed65a36b73f123c79fb071e58d6025 thank you very much for any help. ps: unsure if this should not have higher severety as rebooting now would porbably make the system unbootable. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.2M Mar 19 2010 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-orion5x -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1M Feb 16 2010 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-orion5x.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 27 15:44 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-orion5x.new -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1M Feb 20 2010 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-2-orion5x -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.2M Apr 13 2010 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-2-orion5x -- /proc/cmdline console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/ram rw initrd=0x800000,0x3fffff -- resume # RESUME=/dev/sda2 RESUME='UUID=f7060f39-0f73-4604-9823-93e367a18a05' -- /proc/filesystems ext2 -- lsmod Module Size Used by appletalk 24225 0 ipv6 253185 18 nfsd 247648 13 exportfs 3000 1 nfsd nfs 269374 0 lockd 63141 2 nfsd,nfs fscache 34101 1 nfs nfs_acl 2277 2 nfsd,nfs auth_rpcgss 33314 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 171030 12 nfsd,nfs,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss loop 11411 0 evdev 6582 0 sata_mv 24205 2 mv643xx_eth 22546 0 libata 133831 1 sata_mv libphy 14128 1 mv643xx_eth gpio_keys 2655 0 mv_cesa 4648 0 aes_generic 32820 1 mv_cesa ext2 55407 3 mbcache 4860 1 ext2 sd_mod 30988 5 crc_t10dif 1106 1 sd_mod ehci_hcd 32780 0 usb_storage 33760 1 usbcore 110912 3 ehci_hcd,usb_storage nls_base 5367 1 usbcore scsi_mod 119100 3 libata,sd_mod,usb_storage aufs 138852 0 -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules aufs -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = yes postinst_hook = flash-kernel -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- mkinitramfs hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks: busybox dmsetup flash_kernel_set_root keymap klibc thermal udev -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-2-orion5x Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.4.2-1 utilities for finding files--find,ii klibc-utils 1.5.20-1 small utilities built with klibc f ii module-init-tools 3.12-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 160-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.17.1-4 Tiny utilities for small and embed Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:1.2-2 programmable completion for the ba -- no debconf information -- GMX DSL Doppel-Flat ab 19,99 €/mtl.!
