Improving the reliability of file system monitoring tools (Collabora blog)

I thought this work was about filesystem errors, not about storage device errors, which are covered by the support for SMART in various places, although I think for GNOME you have to install smart-notifier to get SMART notifications. Filesystem errors can be caused be Linux kernel bugs or by storage device errors or silent storage device corruption (which happened to me), so they are a superset of storage device errors.
