[Filesystems-devel] Bug#844205: aufs-dkms: I can't load the kernel module after upgrade from Jessie to Stretch.

[Leo]

Package: aufs-dkms
Version: 4.8+20161010-1
Severity: critical
Tags: d-i
Justification: causes serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I wanted to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I run apt-get dist-upgrade. Everything was working (or at least, no
critical error appeared).
After that, docker stop to work because the aufs kernel module was not
found.
I tried to install the aufs packages but the kernel can't find it (maybe
because my kernel is 4.7?).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The only way to have docker working is to delete all the old
images/containers.
It means that I'm losing all my data inside.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

To load the module correctly and have docker working again also with
images/containers stored
with aufs.
Or, at least to be able to migrate my old images/containers from aufs to
another storage service.
