Public bug reported: Binary package hint: inotify-tools
Using inotifywait waiting for a lock-file will wait for ever. Window one: $ inotifywait -e delete_self /tmp/foo Setting up watches. Watches established. Window two: aw@server1:~$ touch /tmp/foo # has to be done before starting inotifywait in window one aw@server1:~$ rm /tmp/foo (nothing happens, inotify will hang for ever) ===== The same thing using event delete: aw@server1:/tmp$ inotifywait -e delete /tmp Setting up watches. Watches established. /tmp/ DELETE foo The event fires ** Affects: inotify-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702884 Title: The event delete_self with inotyfywait never occur -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
