It means that aufs thinks that there was no "Season 1" somewhere under /mnt/disk3 in the beginning, but, then found it unexpectedly and suddenly. Usually it should not happen unless you created "Season 1" bypassing aufs. I don't understand what is happening. I need more info such like this. (quote from aufs README file) ---------------------------------------- When you have any problems or strange behaviour in aufs, please let me know with: - /proc/mounts (instead of the output of mount(8)) - /sys/module/aufs/* - /sys/fs/aufs/* (if you have them) - /debug/aufs/* (if you have them) - linux kernel version if your kernel is not plain, for example modified by distributor, the url where i can download its source is necessary too. - aufs version which was printed at loading the module or booting the system, instead of the date you downloaded. - configuration (define/undefine CONFIG_AUFS_xxx) - kernel configuration or /proc/config.gz (if you have it) - behaviour which you think to be incorrect - actual operation, reproducible one is better - mailto: aufs-users at lists.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------- J.
