Anyway, my test setup isn't likely able to reproduce such a scenario
without some significant tweaks, so perhaps those of you who have seen
this problem (Burn, and anyone else?) could shed some light into the
state of the system when the ordering problem occurred.

I tend to have a rigorous auditing posture (see the rules loaded in https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/issues/148) which is not normal for most. Perhaps, Paul, you have hit the nail on the head by stating that this 'severe delay' is not that unreasonable given my rules posture and we just need to 'deal with it' in user space.
We still get the event data, I just need to adjust the user space tools to deal with this occurrence.
As for what the system is doing, in my home case it's a Centos 7 VM running a tomcat service which only gets busy every 20 minutes and the other is a HPE Z800 running Centos 8 with 4-5 VM's mostly dormant. I can put any code in these hosts to assist in 'validating'/testing the delay. Advise and I will run.


Looking at the records which appear to be delayed (in OP), I see that they are PATH (w/PROCTITLE). Just curious, is the path involved part of a networked FS, or something like a VM shared directory?

Thx,

LCB
