Yeah, the nonrecursive behaviour is a bugger. Also I found it helped to queue operations in userspace and execute periodically rather than trying to execute on every single notification. Worked well for indexing, for virus scanning though you'd want to do some risk analysis. It'd be nice to have a filesystem that handled that sort of thing internally *cough*winfs*cough*. That was my hope for reiserfs a very long time ago with its pluggable fs modules feature. -- Matt -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
