Looks like there may be something in the works -- "fsnotify". The history is
a little uninspiring, though; the driving force behind the development is
someone who wants to build malware scanners, and the kernel devs really
dislike that. However, it looks like fsnotify could be simpler, cleaner and
more powerful than inotify or dnotify, and would simplify the VFS layer
because inotify and dnotify could actually be built on top of it.
I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
Shawn.
