Significant? I don't mean it will be huge regression. udba=notify will surely consume more resources, but I don't know how much. It is up to your system and actual operation. As a first step, I'd suggest you to try "time ls /aufs" or your actual operaion with/without udba=notify. > Is there a way I can reduce the aufs cache size so I can hit this warning > with better predictability?

When a system thinks there is memory pressure, then it tries discarding caches first. You can customize the size of cache via /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure. Note: - vfs_cache_pressure effects all over your system. Not aufs specific. - reducing the cache means your system has to access files and disks frequently. it may hurt the performance. J. R.
