Bernd Eckenfels commented on VFS-654:
-------------------------------------
Yes as a minimum support for java.nio.WatchEvent should be implemented. This
would work with Linux inotify as well as Windows (SMB and NTFS changejournal)
(however not in all cases reliably)

> Key: VFS-654
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-654
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Boris Petrov
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the DefaultFileMonitor walks the whole file system and notifies
> when something changes. For large file systems and (near) real-time
> requirements this is _extremely_ inefficient. Some file systems have an
> events API which could be exposed (like *inotify*). Has any work towards that
> ever been done?
