The answer from me is essentially unchanged. *Currently* I don't think it a bug nor by design. You should try these steps. - check the size and the number of the consumed blocks of XINO files via debugfs and make sure they are big pressure for tmpfs. --> In other words, are you sure that XINO files eat up your tmpfs, or is it a general problem that your filesystem is too small for your files? If the XINO trunation feature in aufs doesn't work expectedly, then it must be a bug. - and then you can try "xino=/dir/file/on/another/place" or expand your tmpfs or "noxino" (which I don't recommend) The background of this story is related to a specific behaviour of tmpfs. That is how the inode numbers are allocated. I wonder should I write a patch for tmpfs to change this behaviour... J. R.
