Hi, Bob. We are always the company who believe "The Network is the computer".
Gamin is File Alteration Monitor. you can refer to http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/overview.html for more information. it depends one kernel module called File Event Notification (FEN) on solaris . So when File is added/moved/modified, FEN will notify gamin, gamin will notify its registerd applications such as tracker. then tracker will know that some file need to be reindexed. Tracker does not care this file comes from NFS share directory or local file directory, as long as it can read this file. > Assuming that Sun still is "The Network Is The Computer" company, can > you explain to me how this local daemon called gamin will know if one > of the thousands of other computers on the network has changed a file > in the network server directory where my home directory resides? > > Bob > ====================================== > Bob Friesenhahn > bfriesen at simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ > GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > desktop-discuss mailing list > desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org >
