Yes, 'pmfsrr' should behave such like that. If CONFIG_AUFS_DEBUG is disabled, can you enable it and rebuild aufs module? If so, set the module parameter 'debug' ON, and then $ echo 1 > /sys/fs/module/aufs/parameter/debug $ cp 2GB-file /mnt/media/music/artist/file.mp4 $ echo 0 > /sys/fs/module/aufs/parameter/debug This will print many debug information including how aufs selected the branch. I may send you another debug patch to print more information and ask you to apply/rebuild if you can. I will start reproducing the problem on my side with much smaller size in a few days. J. R.
