Yeah... They will be screaming at me! not you... 8-)
Heh, yeah, but my point was rather that any problem will (hopefully) be
spotted and reported rather quickly.
Finally, why the "change dnotify to inotify" a good thing?
I was mostly referring to the EINTR thing...since dnotify is signal
based, there are a lot of functions that should be checked for EINTR and
restarted. Maybe they should anyway, but the need is less urgent with
inotify (the other advantages were the reduced number of fds and not
having to rescan the while rpc_pipefs hierarchy on every change).
