I'm still seeing this on 12.04, but not on 13.04. Reproducible as follows: me@laptop ~/temp $ mkdir ro rw aufs me@laptop ~/temp $ touch ro/dummy me@laptop ~/temp $ sudo mount -t aufs -o dirs=rw:ro=ro none aufs [sudo] password for me: me@laptop ~/temp $ ls aufs/ dummy me@laptop ~/temp $ rm aufs/dummy rm: cannot remove `aufs/dummy': Operation not permitted me@laptop ~/temp $
On 13.04 I don't get the error message and the file is 'deleted' (i.e, a whiteout file is correctly created). Looks like the bug fix hasn't been ported to the LTS release, but probably needs doing so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663069 Title: "non-accessable symlink" errors when using aufs-shaddowed read-only root filesystem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/663069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
