The FAM subsystem allows applications to watch certain files and be
notified when they are modified.

FAM is network-aware, and if a monitor is started on an NFS share, it
will attempt to contact a FAM server on the NFS server and have it
monitor the file locally, which is more efficient.

But inotify only works on local files.
