Tests still fail in the version 3.20.11.0.

Not stale.

inotify-tools works well, I would be tempted to start a 4.x version in rust, would be cleaner

[ericcurtin]

I do apologise this hasn't been worked on, simply put there is nobody paid to work on inotify-tools, although I try my best to maintain in my free time, outside work hours. Which made me think recently, maybe there's a potential google summer of code project here.

Now in 4.23.8.0 the failure looks like this:
