With Lennarts recent comments on FANOTIFY and its shortcomings for Tracker I would have expected that to be on the list as well. Ah well, the list is bound to continue to grow.

A Plumber's Wish List for Linux

Do you have a link? I'm working on a project that's having issues with a huge number of inotify watches, and was thinking about how wonderful fanotify was going to be when I got some free time to poke at it.

Don't know about the particular reference, but last time I looked, fanotify looked to be completely useless. I still can't believe it was actually merged.

Thanks for the link. I'm always surprised that developer conferences aren't sponsored by whiskey manufacturers.

I don't work on tracker, so getting renames and unprivileged access to fanotify are not really important to me, though I'd welcome that if they existed...
