Hi, We're having a fairly significant problem with aufs with an NFS branch. It happens on stock Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04 kernels, and with aufs 20090126. I've tested with Solaris 9/10 and Ubuntu 8.04 servers.
It's simple to reproduce - simply mount an NFSv3 export, and mount it as a writable aufs branch. Regardless of the udba mount option (even hinotify), writing to a file on the NFS branch does not cause the stats in the aufs directory listings to update. If I subsequently read from the file, its correct stats show up. Is this known? Is it fixable?
