I'm not sure if I'm having the same issue, but after running emerge --sync (e.g. rsync from the gentoo repository to my local aufs'd tree) my system locks too. Can't unmount my aufs'd tree either. I should have copy/pasted my dmesg the system was so hung, I had to power cycle it. I'm using the following module/kernel version on my gentoo box. I'm a little scared to retry this after a reboot, but i might just have to :S filename: /lib/modules/2.6.36-gentoo-r5/misc/aufs.ko version: 2.1-standalone.tree-36-20110117

AFS_PATH='path to afs directory of interest' mkdir aumnt mount -t aufs -o dirs=$AFS_PATH aufs aumnt cd aumnt echo "hello world" > hw ln -s hw ln_hw Everything succeeds until that last ln command, which outputs "Killed", as confirmed by exit code of 137. Afterwards, ls, lsof, or any attempt to access aumnt leads bash to hang. It cannot be unmounted, either. If I try to access the AFS_PATH directly, outside of the aufs mount, it also hangs when I try to access that particular directory. The only way I've been able to regain access to AFS_PATH is by reboot, at which point I see that the ln command actually HAS been successful. There is a symlink there for file hw. The above is an example of just one branch, but a union with a local branch leads to same thing if the writable branch is the AFS branch. Making a symlink to an AFS file on the local filesystem is OK. What could be going on here?
