inotify workaround for CIFS? #51

Closed edrock200 closed 3 years ago

edrock200 commented 3 years ago

My understanding is inotify won't work with CIFS shares. Is there a way to do a ls -R type function on a cron schedule to parse out deltas for autoscan? Thanks in advance!

The Inotify trigger is build on the fsnotify Go module which sadly does not have polling support. It is listed as a maybe but unfortunately it has been for quite some time.

We will not be rolling our own solution as that would be out-of-scope of the general project and requires a serious investment in time.
