This other machine is running a third party solution which process these events and sends the verdict to the application which passes on the same to fanotify based on which decision of access to a file is made. I have seen this freeze issue in case of network failures but those are identifiable. There are couple of cases mentioned below which may lead to this. 1) The event is received by third party solution but it did not send the verdict to the application. In that scenario need to notify this third party for fixing the issue. 2) Verdict is received by an application but could not pass on the same to fantiofy maybe it is stuck in an infinite loop. In this case I need to work towards fixing my application. In order to identify the correct root cause I would want to have a user level stack trace of this application. Using crash tool I could not figure out the same. I am using 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu.
