Bug Description
When I updated my pxeboot/nfs system to 10.10, several applets failed to load, and the log files contained the following messages:

Can be easily reproduced with the following steps:
mkdir ro rw aufs
touch ro/foo
sudo mount -t aufs -o br:rw:ro none aufs
mv aufs/{foo,bar}
Gives the following output:
mv: cannot move `aufs/foo' to `aufs/bar': Operation not permitted
And:
dmesg | tail -1
[179473.298795] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: mv (fsuid 1000)
I confirm the kernel. yama.protected_ nonaccess_ hardlinks= 0 workaround
