Yes, but perhaps I should clarify that in all 3 cases the mount of the 
homedirectory
is on top of all other filesystems and in my understanding it should in fact 
have
nothing to do with aufs. However aufs seems to have an influence because the 
only
significant difference between case 1 and 3 is, that aufs is used in case 1.

No, just with strace and tcpdump.

Unfortunately not. Same behavior.

In the case of a diskless with aufs root filesystem, is there any influence
of aufs to later mounted nfs4 filesystems?

Best regards,
