If enable fam or inotify, whenever a file under watched is modified.
tracker deamon will be notified to re index it again.
no we need a watchless system which is more efficient for mass watching
large numbers of directories
(inotify uses a linked list so watching 10,000 directories would be
really slow)
OS/X and FreeBSD have such a system so it would be nice to have similar
on linux and other systems. There was talk of using a ring buffer file
which the kernel uses to log all changes to files.
