Introduction to aufs</h2><p>AUFS (Another Union File System) is as the name states, an union filesystem service. It allows files and directories of separate file systems, known as branches, to be transparently overlaid, forming a single coherent file system. Contents of directories which have the same path within the merged branches will be seen together in a single merged directory, within the new, virtual filesystem. </p><p>Versioning of AUFS is parallel to the kernel version. For kernel 2.x you'll need AUFS2 and for the new kernel 3.x you'll need AUFS3.</p><p>As stated in the previous chapter, we need to checkout AUFS from GIT.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><h2 class="sect2">2.3.2.
