Basically aufs frees all the resources associated with the removed branch. If you didn't install /sbin/mount.aufs (and other scripts) and you didn't specify 'noplink' mount option, then unflushed pseudo-linked inode may still alive. If you know how to reproduce this problem, try first one of these, - install aufs scripts to /sbin - specify noplink Anyway aufs has something to fix.
