I reported some weeks back about a strange occurrence of applications randomly crashing when using AUFS. After debugging it has been determined that this issue is directly related to the CPU (MIPS) cache policy--it does not happen any longer when the cache is forced write-through instead of write-back.
I spent a fair amount of time attempting to reproduce with qemu and was unable; I wonder if it is possible to configure such write-back behaviour in the emulator. In any case, the solution now is to use write-through mode. I wonder though if there could be an explicit write-back missing after a copy or some such which might be seen only on certain hardware?
