Quoting upstream (with his permission): | and regarding the bug #494397, I am not quite sure | how to fix it since as you have mentioned already, | the inotify in linux kernel doesn't support recursive | monitoring of directories. | No matter how good the user space implementation of | this recursive monitoring, there will be a race condition | where you will still miss some events. | For example if we do like mkdir -p a/b/c/d, | a user space implementation will not be fast enough to watch | the new directories. | Please have a look also to a similar problem with pynotify: | http://trac.dbzteam.org/pyinotify/ticket/8 | In my opinion, this should be fixed in the kernel. inotify | should be able to monitor directory recursively. regards, -mika-
