No, aufs has no timeout for the inode attribute. But I guess fuse has. At revalidating, aufs calls the branch's (original) revalidation function. When it returns "this dentry/inode is bogus", then aufs discards its cache and re-lookup. In other words, if the revalidation function in fuse has some timeout, then aufs just follows it. J. R.
