Samba now uses inotify if available on the server side to support the
Directory Change Notification requested by certain cifs client (Windows
explorer on most Windows clients e.g.) but the Linux CIFS client does
not have a complete implementation of the mapping between the fcntl
dnotify (the old way to do the same thing on Linux) and the cifs
transact change notify request on the wire. It would not be too hard to
finish up if anyone is looking for a small project. support for
inotify on the client (mapping to the cifs transact change notify on the
wire) would be a little harder because Linux's inotify is a broader API
than the older fcntl but it could be done for some common cases.
