[Nix-dev] aufs & kernel 2.6.28.9

[Tony White]

Hi,
I trying to build a rescue cd with 2.6.28.9 so that I can try to make
ext4fs root among other things but I've run into a problem that seems
a little difficult to fix regarding aufs.

So I can see it's an aufs problem, I'm guessing it could do with a
newer version. However I goto download :

http://nixos.org/tarballs/aufs-20080508.tar.bz2

To inspect the archive layout and it's a different to the layout to :

http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=167503&filename=aufs2-base5.tar.bz2

Which is the latest current stable version, So my questions are :

Is aufs absolutely a requirement of the rescue cd? I know I can
disable it to save time but is it worth it?

Is editing the expression to use the sourceforge archive the correct
method of resolution?
Is the aufs-20080508.tar.bz2 the same thing, Just a slightly different?

If anyone knows?

Thanks,

Tony
