Current print format is
"%llux%lu %lld\n", st->blocks, st->blksize, (long long)st->size

Do you mean this has three values and violates the rule?
And aufs should create three entries such like xib/blocks, xib/blksize
and xib/size?
If I change it "<blocks>x<blksize>", is it still violation?

Normal users want to care them, I guess.
Since XINO files grow only, some heavy users had met ENOSPC
actually. Currently aufs supports automatic truncation for XINO files in
tmpfs only.

I just wanted to set limit its size to PAGE_SIZE to print the absolute
path. Is there another better approach?
