I was wondering if there is plans for (or already is support for)
inotify or fanotify when using the Ceph filesystem? In my tests it
seemed to work okay locally but there weren't any notifications to
another machine in the cluster.
Regards,
Damien

The reason it works on the local machine is that the Linux VFS
provides that feature directly, without really interacting with Ceph.
I am not sure what it would take to support that feature in a
distributed fashion (or whether that's even possible with the current
kernel APIs), but I created a ticket requesting this feature:
http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/1296
If you wish to stay updated on the status of that feature, you can
create a user account in the tracker and "watch" the ticket, then
you'll be notified of any changes.
