[PATCH] fsmonitor: option to allow fsmonitor to run against network-mounted repos

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric DeCosta <edecosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Though perhaps not common, there are uses cases where users have large,
network-mounted repos. Having the ability to run fsmonitor against
network paths would benefit those users.

As a first step towards enabling fsmonitor to work against
network-mounted repos, a configuration option, 'fsmonitor.allowRemote'
was introduced for Windows. Setting this option to true will override
the default behavior (erroring-out) when a network-mounted repo is
detected by fsmonitor. In order for macOS to have parity with Windows,
the same option is now introduced for macOS.

The the added wrinkle being that the Unix domain socket (UDS) file
used for IPC cannot be created in a network location; instead the
temporary directory is used.
