i'm pretty clear of that, but you dont read the rest:

i found several bugs and tricks was reported and project upstream dont
said nothing..

about imap and courier i found this interesting post about this issue:
https://tvi.al/how-to-fix-the-gamin-fam-issue/ seems we must install
gamin instead of fam and verify that files are owned by an existing /


That page doesn't say how old it is, but Gamin has been used instead of FAM,  
on Linux, for several decades now.


And earlier posts in this threads were reporting a problem with gam_server,  
Gamin's per-user server.


There's nothing there that's new. It's all old news.

real unix user, otherwise, gam_server won't start but does not explain
why fam is not good for

Gaming is on demand, it relies on per user server, no system wide
server, instead fam is system wide and does not need real users to
watch inodes.. there's  inotify-tools but only on linux..

So what?

Gamin's purpose is very focused, and narrow.

Once the task of implementing filesystem monitoring is complete, there's  
nothing else to do.


The kernel APIs don't change. No new functionality is needed. The code is be  
written in plain, garden variety C. C hasn't changed in decades. There's  
nothing to update, any more.
