There are no hooks into the underlying filesystem drivers for it currently. There were some handwavy plans to add support for it to cifs.ko several years ago (SMB has protocol support for this sort of thing), but they never came to fruition. ceph would also need to extend the MDS protocol to do this (most likely) and the caps subsystem would probably make it really hard to do any sort of immediate notification on certain types of changes. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
