There are several ways to do that. (generic) $ mkdir /tmp/empty # mount -o bind /tmp/empty /mnt/aufs/you/want/to/hide (aufs specific) $ mkdir /tmp/empty $ cd /tmp/empty $ > .wh..wh.base $ mkdir you/want/to $ ln .wh..wh.base you/want/to/.wh..wh.hide # mount -o remount,prepend:/tmp/empty=ro+wh /mnt/aufs J.
