From: DENIEL Philippe <philippe.deniel@cea.fr>

DENIEL Has reported that watching directories through the new fsnotify API,
might miss some events like deletes and that a directory watch is not recursive, which
means that we need to open two fd(s) for each directory in the cache. (Which halves our
fd cache size).

Again from the top of my head, and I know nothing of this subject.

DENIEL please add any information here, so we can talk about it at LSF.

Thanks
Boaz
