Hmm, so you want such like this? - both of /ro/fileA and /rw/fileA exist. - /aufs/fileA exists too. $ rm /aufs/fileA $ cat /aufs/fileA and "cat" shows /ro/fileA. If so, that is not normal fs behaviour, and I don't know why you want such behaviour. Instead of aufs, you may want try "mount --bind fileA" and then unmount it. It may be possible if you develop something based on FUSE. But I don't think it is a good idea. J. R.
