One of the features that local filesystems have, and we would like to see in Gluster at one point too, is fsnotify. This allows applications to request a WATCH on an inode, and get events reported back. We have discussed this a little in relation with our upcall framework before, and now it gets time to really think about it in more detail. Stef Bon (on CC) proposed an interface for FUSE so that any filesystem using FUSE can support fsnotify. Stef is looking for comments and is interested in the feedback we can give him. Please have a read through his email and design: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cifs/11847 https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/wiki/Fsnotify-and-FUSE Send feedback to Stef, with at least the gluster-devel and fuse-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lists on CC. Thanks, Niels
