Hi All,
I've been looking into a problem using the .NET FileSystemWatcher class in a VB application. The application is only receiving notifications for events in the root of the directory it is watching. E.g. When monitoring \\SambaServer\Files <file:///\\SambaServer\Files> \\SambaServer\Files\file.txt <file:///\\SambaServer\Files\file.txt> will give notifications but not \\SambaServer\Files\Folder\file2.txt via Samba. The same application works fine using a windows CIFS/SMB share or a local drive. The FileSystemWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories option is set to True in the application. The issue appears to be that Samba does not monitoring file events recursively, because inotify in the linux kernel does not monitor directories recursively. >From man inotify; "Inotify monitoring of directories is not recursive: to monitor subdirectories under a directory, additional watches must be created." I was wondering if there is any method by which Samba can notify for recursive events? I am aware that this could also be achieved by adding individual watches within the afore-mentioned VB application, however this is not an option for me at present. Any help or advice appreciated.
