A knowledgeable person recently installed CAP on our Convex minisuper. 
Now he's gone and we have two problems with aufs:

1)      Files that are created with WriteNow 2.0 and reside on an aufs
	volume cannot be opened any more (by WriteNow). The Mac
	displays the following error message:

		Unexpected error #-39 occurred while
		reading or writing the disk

	When the file is dragged to the Mac's own hard disk everything
	is OK again. Do other implementations of CAP have the same
	problem? Can something be done about it? 
	
2)      The "date" of a file. When dragging a file from one Mac
	volume to another it keeps its "old" creation time (this we
	consider a nice feature). However when we drag a file from a
	Mac volume to an aufs volume, the creation time is updated (to
	the present time). Again the same questions, is this a general
	problem for aufs, can something be done?

Your help would be much appreciated.
