I forgot to clarify: The failure to unmount the tmpfs dummy ONLY happens when the aufs mount fails. If the tmpfs was large enough, and the aufs mount command succeeded, then I can unmount /Archive, then unmount /dummy. If AUFS fails to mount /Archive, then I cannot unmount /dummy — it remains "busy" until after a reboot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
