I was trying to maintain a local and remote directory in sync with
lsync, using inotify.
I happen to have >4M files and >400k directories... running over
/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

What if inotify could just provide all events (limited for instance by
euid), which can be filtered by the application requesting
inotification?
Would something like that be possible?

BTW, I'm not a kernel expert, and not following this list... just
wanted to throw in this idea. Pls Cc: personally.

Thanks,
Jos
