If there is not inotify patch in the kernel, fam can use polling: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/faq.html#fam_no_imon And AFAIK, Debian kernel has not such patch: http://costa.wiggy.net/svn/kernel/tags/kernel/source/2.6.9-2/kernel-source-2.6.9-2.6.9/debian/patches/?rev=0&sc=0 > Did you contact the 2.6.9 kernel maintainers already?

And the problem with that patch is that I don't know if building a module is enough, or it is a bit more intrusive. If not, that could be done (but I'm not very keen of maintaining a kernel patch) Cheers, -- Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
