Ok so after changing all the mount options I could find I knocked this one out to my satisfaction.
In line 1494 of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live you will see the cow mount options which are the mount options of the tmpfs that is created for the aufs mount point: cow_mountopt="rw,noatime,mode=755" Add a size option for whatever you desire for / ie: cow_mountopt="rw,noatime,mode=755,size=512M" Rebuild initramfs and reboot you should see the aufs is now mounted with your size variable instead of half of ram that is default: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on aufs 512M 3.5M 509M 1% / As the other tmpfs mount points should never get filled up I am not worried about them. So onto my next question how about a toramrootsize option? toramrootsize=*) toramrootsize=",${ARGUMENT#toramrootsize=}" ;; then cow_mountopt="rw,noatime,mode=755$toramrootsize" Does anyone care enough to implement this?
