Hi Anders, Thanks for your message. I am the maintainer of inotify-tools in Debian.
Today I did several tests in Debian Sid, using your version (inotify- tools_3.13-3) and the newer version (3.20.11.0-1). I can't reproduce these errors. I got the following replies, without a freeze: # inotifywait -e delete_self /tmp/foo Setting up watches. Watches established. /tmp/foo DELETE_SELF # inotifywait -e delete /tmp Setting up watches. Watches established. /tmp/ DELETE foo Considering other tests, I am convinced that the problem occurred in kernel API or other environment control. So, I am closing this bug. Feel free to reopen if needed.
