Re: [Tracker] tracker constantly crawling




Ok, I suppose you could contribute a FAM backend for tracker-miner-fs
then. Wouldn't be bad to have support for multiple kinds of file-
monitoring.

Hello Brian,

Hi.

FAM is for intercepting syscalls like open I believe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Alteration_Monitor

The FAM subsystem allows applications to watch certain files and be
notified when they are modified.

FAM is network-aware, and if a monitor is started on an NFS share, it
will attempt to contact a FAM server on the NFS server and have it
monitor the file locally, which is more efficient.

Tracker uses inotify at this moment.

But inotify only works on local files.

Cheers,
b.
