Thank you very much, Joey. Honestly speaking, I don't remember correctly the problems of using an aufs as a branch. :-) But how do you think about this issue? - whiteout All branch filesystem should NOT handle whiteout. The prefix ".wh." is reserved by aufs, and it should be handled by aufs only. Aufs lookup/create/removes whiteout on its branch. If the branch was aufs, the upper aufs would not be able to handle whiteout correctly.
