Summary0003412: AuFS not present in 4.6 Linux Headers
Description

Live DVD images made with refracta snapshot fail to boot with an "aufs not available" error.

Previously, the following was available from the headers:
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-kali1-amd64/include/config/aufs
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-kali1-common/include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h
/lib/modules/4.5.0-kali1-amd64/kernel/fs/aufs
/lib/modules/4.5.0-kali1-amd64/kernel/fs/aufs/aufs.ko

None of these files are available after the 4.6 kernel update.

Steps To Reproduce

Just make a refractasnapshot iso image of a running kali instance using the 4.6 kernel.

Attempt to boot the iso on a system or vm and you will get the error.

aufs is not a standard kernel module and we don't need it for Kali anymore so we stopped patching the kernel to add aufs support.

Follow our live-build instructions on docs.kali.org to build a custom live image.
