Colin, This is the second time I've replied to this, so I'll be brief. A filesystem can implement inotify most of the time, while still being unable to implement it all of the time. A good example is a filesystem where inotify is disabled, or unable to be implemented, when flock is in use.
Applications should be able to handle this situation effectively. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882147 Title: overlayfs does not implement inotify interfaces correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/882147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
