    As far as I know, AUFS is a bit of ancient history and use of OverlayFS is encouraged instead. Is there any specific reason why you want AUFS? Commented May 26, 2024 at 10:05
  • @schaiba I need AUFS for a compatibility of an old linux distro im hacking. If u prefer overlayfs then answer about it but i dont know how to use it Commented May 26, 2024 at 11:15
  • Just asking how to use it is kind of broad. Instead, explain what you'd do (preferably with exact commands) if you had AUFS, and we can tell you how to do the equivalent with overlayfs. Commented May 27, 2024 at 2:26
