John, You make an interesting point about returning with failure. Applications should account for all modes of failure, even when success is reported.
As for the point of having inotify at all, this was addressed in my first post I wrote on 2012-02-25. My skepticism about reporting error if inotify will not actually report "all" changes is this rules out the possibility of reporting a subset of changes via inotify. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882147 Title: overlayfs does not implement inotify interfaces correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/882147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
