Title:
  initrd should have aufs mode

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  Hi,

  that's not a bug-report, that's a wish and proposal:

  
  Would be nice if the initrd would support mounting a ramdisk/aufs over a read-only root system in case the root file system is not writable or the user requests on the command line. 

  It would allow to use and temporarily modify a linux system without
  actually changing it. Or to have a root file system on a squashfs
  compressed file.

  regards
  Hadmut
