Methods to supplement fanotify's shortcomings
Are people not using fanotify because of the lack of rename/move support? I'd love to pair fanotify with inotify and have inotify monitor renames/moves but it does not work well on entire file systems. Does anyone have any suggestions as to provide rename support in an application using fanotify on entire filesystems? The only reliable solution I've found is to make a kernel module to monitor renames and pass it back to the application through a netlink socket. Any other ways?
