</div>Are you sure it really _needs_ them? They seem to be mostly<br>
optimizations to avoid walking uninteresing parts of the tree, and it<br>
should be possible to achieve the same behavior (aside from time<br>
wasted walking uninteresting stuff) with minor changes to the callback<br>
function...<br>
<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div>You are right that they are optimisations; that would be my guess too. The utilities need to scan through all directories and files on multiple filesystems - the more layer added to aufs, the worse it would be. Thus it needs any optimisation it can get. I&#39;m not the author of aufs-utils so I can&#39;t be so sure.<br>
<br>Right now I managed to get it compiled with uclibc so at least the size problem is resolved in the interim, but I prefer to use musl if possible.<br><br>cheers!<br>James<br></div></div>
