Hello, dnotify is working on my machines running 2.6.26-1, 2.6.26-2 and 2.6.29-2-686.
Here is what happens when I `cat /tmp/bla`: zaatar:~$ dnotify -A /tmp -e echo got that! got that! Which translates in strace as: {si_signo=SIGRT_2, si_code=0x3, si_pid=1089, si_uid=3, si_value={int=129100401, ptr=0x7b1ea71}}, 0, 8) = 34 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xb7e21708) = 2315 rt_sigtimedwait([CHLD RT_2], got that! {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_EXITED, si_pid=2315, si_status=0, si_utime=0, si_stime=1}, 0, 8) = 17 waitpid(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], WNOHANG) = 2315 rt_sigtimedwait([CHLD RT_2], zaatar:~$ grep NOTIFY /boot/config-2.6.26-2-686 CONFIG_I2O_LCT_NOTIFY_ON_CHANGES=y CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y CONFIG_INOTIFY=y CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y > I have here various kernel ( 2.6.26.* 2.6.27.*, 2.6.28) all on i686 It seems the problem your are facing is not related to the kernels you mentioned above. It could be worth closing or renaming this bug.
