*Finally* we can write efficient indexers and a non-disk-bashing locate(1)
that doesn't rely on weird kernel hacks (was it rlocate that used a custom *LSM*, of all things, to trap file creations?)

The fanotify API Posted Jul 2, 2009 20:44 UTC (Thu) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link] Yes, the version of rlocate for Linux-2.6 used an LSM to be able to track changes to the file system. The Linux-2.4 version used a more direct approach, but that had been blocked in 2.6. AFAIK since 2.6.24 even the LSM approach no longer works.
