Bug Description
I am building a NAS and I have used Ubuntu Precise server edition for it.
I've been using AUFS on my desktop (with Ubuntu 11.10) for a long time now and this is the main reason why I've chosen Ubuntu server edition for my NAS over specialized NAS software like FreeNas or Open Media Vault, only to find out when actually trying to set it up that aufs support has been removed from the Precise kernels. And this information is pretty obscure and not straightforward to get it. I've found this information in this bug:
https:/
So in reply to "However, I'm going to want some pretty compelling evidence for aufs." from comment #2, there's the compelling evidence. Overlayfs is NOT an option and it's not the same by far.
If you're wondering why I haven't used ubuntu-bug linux command to submit this bug, here's why:
bogdan@NAS:~$ ubuntu-bug linux
