--- Begin Message ---Package: inotify-tools Version: 3.13-3.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Inotifywait cannot watch for FS unmounts. On Squeeze, I was able to: (sleep 1; umount /mnt)& inotifywait -q -e unmount /mnt to receive notice that the FS was unmounted and, by extension, that all buffers were flushed; thus it would be safe to unplug the medium. On Wheezy, that inotifywait command results in: Setting up watches. Couldn't watch /mnt: Invalid argument The problem occurs on two different recent Wheezy ix86-64 installations; they are basic systems with web server, ssh server, and vim, apcupsd, inotify-tools, hdparm, acl, samba and ntp (and their dependencies) installed, and vim-tiny removed. Other features of inotifywait seem to work as with Squeeze. I'm presently using a less elegant work-around: while grep -q " /mnt " /proc/mounts; do sleep .1; done but would prefer to use inotifywait. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages inotify-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libinotifytools0 3.13-3.1 inotify-tools recommends no packages. inotify-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Hi Neal, After several tests in Debian Bullseye, I noticed that this issue was fixed. It sounds like a kernel issue (in inotify API, now working). I am closing this bug. Feel free to reopen if needed. Regards, Eriberto
