I don't understand well what you mean. Does it mean - your /union is aufs - /union has /changes as as its writable branch - /changes/opt exists and it is bound to /opt - /opt is not aufs, not the branch of /union - you untar /opt ? If so, it means your untar /opt is bypassing aufs. Such operation makes aufs confused because the cached info in aufs becomes different from the real info in branch. For such case, I'd suggest you to try - "mount -o remount /union" after untar or - "mount -o remount,udba=notify /union" before untar, and "mount -o remount,udba=reval /union" after untar J. R.
