Do you mean the second output is for 'mnt', instead of 'ennui'?
Still I don't understand what your situation is, I guess you meet the
known problemm of cramfs branch.
(quote from the aufs manual)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cramfs in linux stable release has strange inodes and it makes aufs
confused. For example,
.nf
$ mkdir -p w/d1 w/d2
$ > w/z1
$ > w/z2
$ mkcramfs w cramfs
$ sudo mount -t cramfs -o ro,loop cramfs /mnt
$ find /mnt -ls
76 1 drwxr-xr-x 1 jro 232 64 Jan 1 1970 /mnt
1 1 drwxr-xr-x 1 jro 232 0 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/d1
1 1 drwxr-xr-x 1 jro 232 0 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/d2
1 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 jro 232 0 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/z1
1 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 jro 232 0 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/z2
.fi
All these two directories and two files have the same inode with one
as their link count. Aufs cannot handle such inode correctly.
Currently, aufs involves a tiny workaround for such inodes. But some
applications may not work correctly since aufs inode number for such
inode will change silently.
If you do not have any empty files, empty directories or special files,
inodes on cramfs will be all fine.
