Hey guys! Thanks for your help last time. Aufs now compiles and works on the latest 2.6.32 kernel from CentOS 6. However, I am back to experiencing the problem I was seeing earlier. What happens is that different processes on the system get hung due to aufs. The functions that seem to get stuck are au_iget_locked () and si_read_lock().
