I just checked, and one of the good properties of dnotify
is that if you are monitoring a directory from an NFS mounted
volume, and do local modifications, then dnotify will signal
the events and they can be reported even if there is no specific
NFS support. You won't catch modifications made remotely but
I think in the scenario of an user with an NFS (or any other
network fs) mounted home directory, it is very important to
keep this property in the inotify interface, it would be worth
testing this actually work up to the gamin level.
