Before completing the branch management (adding, in your case), all
accesses to the aufs will be blocked. So we should investigate "why did
adding a branch block" before "why 'find' freeze and 'lsof' got crazy".

The kernel version and pathces are important.
Also these info are important too.

- /proc/mounts (instead of the output of mount(8))
- /sys/module/aufs/*
- /sys/fs/aufs/* (if you have them)
- /debug/aufs/* (if you have them)
- linux kernel version
  if your kernel is not plain, for example modified by distributor,
  the url where i can download its source is necessary too.
- aufs version which was printed at loading the module or booting the
  system, instead of the date you downloaded.
- configuration (define/undefine CONFIG_AUFS_xxx)
- kernel configuration or /proc/config.gz (if you have it)
