Gear!

I am testing it with 4.1 since UFS and AUFS are great but... doesn't support SMP.

Rock cache_dirs cannot overflow by design. Rock reserves a configured
amount of disk space and uses nothing but that amount of disk space. Due
to optimistic allocation by file systems, you can still run out of disk
space if something else consumes space on the same partition, but the
rock database itself cannot overflow.
