lxc does not modify the cgroup files and I think inotify is not supported by the cgroup. The cgroup should be monitored by the event feature: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/cgroups/cgroup_event_listener.c;h=3e082f96dc125333a2b32076710a23b78bc17c5f;hb=95b6886526bb510b8370b625a49bc0ab3b8ff10f I never used this feature, so I can not help more but I would be interested by any feedback if you are willing to try it and report your results :) Thanks -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
