Implement support for fsnotify / entire system backup #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

(enhancement request)

Linux 2.6.31 or later have a new feature, "fsnotify", that is supposed to
have good performance for the "all files" case, and so may make lsyncd
suitable for entire-system backup.

http://www.pubbs.net/kernel/200905/109416/ has some good discussion.

fsnotify seems to be kernel internal thing, not someting I could use in 
userspace yet. It is now an interface for inotify. fanotify might replace this 
in future. Will monitor it ;-)

fanotify does not feature move events making it currently unusable.
