Libinotify functionality on FreeBSD is missing support for
|
|
|
|
- detecting a file being moved into or out of a directory within the
|
|
same filesystem
|
|
- certain modifications to a symbolic link (rather than the
|
|
file it points to.)
|
|
|
|
in addition to the known limitations on all platforms using kqueue(2)
|
|
where various open and close notifications are unimplemented.
|
|
|
|
This means the following regression tests will fail:
|
|
|
|
Directory notifications:
|
|
IN_MOVED_FROM
|
|
IN_MOVED_TO
|
|
|
|
Open/close notifications:
|
|
IN_OPEN
|
|
IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE
|
|
IN_CLOSE_WRITE
|
|
|
|
Symbolic Link notifications:
|
|
IN_DONT_FOLLOW
|
|
IN_ATTRIB
|
|
IN_MOVE_SELF
|
|
IN_DELETE_SELF
|
|
|
|
Kernel patches to address the missing directory and symbolic link
|
|
notifications are available from:

You might want to consider increasing the kern.maxfiles tunable if you plan
|
|
to use this library for applications that need to monitor activity of a lot
|
|
of files.
|
|
|
|
If the default on your system is too low, add the following line to
|
|
/boot/loader.conf, then reboot the system:
|
|
|
|
kern.maxfiles="25000"
