Hello,

I've been trying to search for a suitable union filesystem for a while,
but all of them are either buggy or buggy *and* slow. I decided to try
aufs, and so far all the features seem great, there's just one big bug
I just encountered.

I tried to compile something in my aufs directory (I've tried it with
multiple applications, so it's not something specific to that), and
during the configure stage it just dies with:

ls: cannot access .: Stale NFS file handle

I'm using AUFS compiled as a module. Applied the -standalone and -base
patches to my kernel as the README said. I'm not sure what I
could do now to fix this, hence my mail here.

I'm mounting three btrfs partitions with the following fstab line:

data /data aufs 
br:/mnt/data-5=rw:/mnt/data-4=rw:/mnt/data-3=rw,create=pmfs,noatime,noauto 0 0

The noauto is there because my data partitions only get decrypted
through LUKS at a later stage during the boot process, and I manually
mount it with "mount /data" after they are mounted.

I have not been able to reproduce the error with manual ls commands, it
only ever occurs during compilation.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm getting rather desparate in my search
for a non-suck unioning filesystem.
