Well it seems that I can register, but the registration of the subfolders is so slow that I thought it was not working. I have subfolders 00-ff and subfolders under them 00-ff (64K total folder structure). Registering on normal storage took about 30 seconds. Registering inotify watcher (recursive=True) on GlusterFS mount takes over 1 hr, 15 min! Walking the tree and registering them each individually takes 6 minutes. -Larry -----Original Message----- From: Larry Bates [mailto:larry.bates at vitalesafe.com] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 1:51 PM To: 'gluster-users at gluster.org' Subject: GlusterFS and inotify I recently moved my backend storage to GlusterFS V3.0 and with one exception everything is running great. That exception is that I had a daemon using inotify that was watching my storage for new files. Upon arrival this watcher uploaded a copy of the file to Amazon S3. This daemon had been running just fine for well over a year. Moving to GlusterFS seems to indicate that inotify doesn't work on GlusterFS volumes. I don't know if it is a Gluster, Fuse, or some other problem. inotify just refuses to allow me to register the top level folder to be watched. Before I spend a lot of time on this, I thought I'd bounce it off of the "experts" on this list. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Larry Bates vitalEsafe, Inc.
