Prasad Koya: > Linux version 3.4.43 ::: > [ 0.420566] aufs 3.4-20130325
So your kernel is vanilla v3.4.43 and aufs is plain 3.4-20130325, right? As you might know, the last version of aufs3.4 is aufs3.4-20131104. As a first step, I'd suggest you to use the last version. And how did you mount aufs? - upper writable is tmpfs? - lower readonly is vfat? - XINO file is on the default place, ie. upper writable branch? For your information, here are the commits in aufs3.4 after 20130325. Theoretically, the investigation will be - check all commits both in aufs3 and aufs4 after 20130325. - decide which commit is necessary for your kernel. bfbe101 2013-10-30 aufs3.4 20131104 1c1de06
