For this case, "udba=notify" won't help (sorry) since "branch" here is the top dir and aufs cannot stop you removing it. It is a surprise to me that you tried such operation. Here is a patch to prohibit such operation. It makes the branch top dir as if it were a mount-point. I still don't decide include this patch in future aufs release. If you want, try this patch. J. R.
