* recursive inotify thingGravatar Joey Hess2012-04-11
Recursive inotify has beaten me before, with its bad design and races, but not this time! (I think.) This is able to follow the strongest filesystem traffic I can throw at it, and robustly notices every file add and delete. Mostly that's down to Haskell having a quite nice threaded inotify library (that does its own buffering). A key insight was realizing that the inotify directory add race could be dealt with by scanning for files inside newly added directories. TODO: Add support for freebsd/osx kqueue; see http://hackage.haskell.org/package/kqueue Can a git-annex-monitor be far off?
