It's up to the driver, but I don't believe that kqueue normally delivers errors back to the process... it returns as ready, but needs to be checked manually via a call to the proper syscall...

You basicly have to treat a directory as a normal file.. if a NOTE_WRITE or NOTE_EXTEND gets returned on a directory, you have to rescan the entire directory to see what changed... kqueue does not return the directory entry in a watched directory that change/added/removed.. > Is there some other documentation I can read besides the man page? src/sys/kern/kern_event.c (and associated files)...
