It sounds like a problem "how to modify a file whose permission bits is 0666". Try "chmod +w /your/aufs/fileA" as usual, and the internal copy-up will happen in aufs. Of course, you should pay attention to the three groups of permission bits which are (user, group, other) x (read, write, execute). Alternately you may want to try setting "rw" for the lower br2. J.
