Because inotify can't do this. we can either watch: 1) a single inode 2) a directory and it's children (note: children, NOT descendants) 3) an entire mount point. number 3 can be abused with bind mounting to watch descendants but takes admin action and has some odd side effects... > 2.

Yes, for certain events this is possible (namely OPEN and READ) -Eric 2011/2/15 John Ogness <dazukoli...@ogness.net> > On 2011-02-15, Tommy <tpla...@austin.rr.com> wrote: > > Will there be a dazukofs release that supports the 2.6.38-3- generic > > Linux kernel?
