Issue:
Chokidar fails to detect new files added to external and network drives on macOS. It functions correctly for local paths (e.g., /Users/myUser/Downloads/testFolder) and also works as expected on Windows for both local, network, and external drives. However, on macOS, it does not trigger 'add' events for new files in /Volumes/MyExternalDrive.
Steps to Reproduce:
Set up Chokidar to watch a path on an external or network drive.
Add new files to this path.
Observe that Chokidar does not emit 'add' events on macOS.
Expected Behavior:
Chokidar should detect and emit events for new files on external and network drives, similar to its behavior with local directories and as it does on Windows.
Additional Context:
The issue persists even with usePolling: true.
The external drive is formatted as exFAT.
When the external drive is formatted as APFS, it functions properly.
This issue is specific to macOS; the same setup works on Windows.
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
