Well, inotifywait does work on /dev /sys and /proc for non-root, too. At least it does here on chimaera. Just try these: $ inotifywait -rm /proc/ $ inotifywait -rm /sys/devices/pci* What does not work is /sys/block, but that's a cosmetic problem, as you alway can watch for /sys and fiilter the output. How does hopman differ from e.g. "inotifywait -rm /dev/disk" or "inotifywait -rm /dev/block" + some lines of shell magic to get a nice output? If polling /proc/self/mounts is required, where is the point in not polling /sys/block/sd*/removable, too?
