Package: inotify-tools
Version: 3.13-3.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Inotifywait cannot watch for FS unmounts.
On Squeeze, I was able to:
(sleep 1; umount /mnt)&
inotifywait -q -e unmount /mnt
to receive notice that the FS was unmounted and, by extension, that all
buffers were flushed; thus it would be safe to unplug the medium.
On Wheezy, that inotifywait command results in:
Setting up watches.
Couldn't watch /mnt: Invalid argument
The problem occurs on two different recent Wheezy ix86-64 installations; they
are basic systems with web server, ssh server, and vim, apcupsd, inotify-tools,
hdparm, acl, samba and ntp (and their dependencies) installed, and vim-tiny
removed.
Other features of inotifywait seem to work as with Squeeze.
I'm presently using a less elegant work-around:
while grep -q " /mnt " /proc/mounts; do sleep .1; done
but would prefer to use inotifywait.
