Hmm, I could not see problem around aufs using btrfs as the upper RW
branch, tested on linux-3.9-rc2.
Would you describe more specifically?
Some of my local tests didn't pass due to an error return from
btrfs. For example, repeat "ln fileA $very_loooong_filename", then btrfs
returns EMLINK so soon.
And aufs refers the common set of inode attribute. I mean attrs declared
in VFS. Also I know some filesystems don't maintain attrs on each
operation. For such fs, aufs calls vfs_getattr() internally.
