"Vonlanthen, Elmar": > Would it be possible for me to change to the old "inotify"?
No, linux kernel dropped inotify. Only its user interface was left, and it uses fsnotify internally. > There is not much difference (without patch it seems to be a little bit > better): It is understandable that no-patch cases shows a little better, since the patch moves the free operation from the "remount" phase to the "find" phase (in this case). One thing I don't understand is your "find" in udab=notify didn't take longer time. On my test system, /usr has 95246 files and "find" shows udba=reval: 0.20user 9.84system 0:23.84elapsed 42%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8896maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (1major+1253minor)pagefaults 0swaps udba=notify 0.18user 10.71system 11:15.69elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8912maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (3major+1253minor)pagefaults 0swaps There is much difference expectedly because udba=notify causes lots of works in aufs. If you can, please try oprofile (or newer perf) to find the functions which take long time in remount. J. R.
