Description David Walser 2020-08-30 23:51:39 CEST 
If we still support aufs in the kernel, we should update the tools to the latest version.

Comment 1 David Walser 2020-08-31 22:37:50 CEST 
Update candidate from tmb already in updates_testing.  Only one more commit in upstream git (see References below) which adds an unimportant SELinux message to a readme.  Updated in Cauldron but no need to fool with the mga7 update candidate.

Advisory:
Updated aufs-tools provides kernel 5.x support

This update provides support for the 5.x series kernels.

Comment 2 Herman Viaene 2020-09-01 12:03:01 CEST 
MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues
Ref bug 18530 for testing
# mkdir /tmp/dir1

# mkdir /tmp/aufs-root

# modprobe aufs

#  mount -t aufs -o br=/tmp/dir1:/home/tester7 none /tmp/aufs-root/
I can see the merged contents of /tmp/dir1 and /home/tester7 in /tmp/aufs-root/
Looks OK to me.
