Notify doesn't work for CIFS-mounted folders in linux/OSX #87

The possible solution would be polling, so it's related to https://github.com/rjeczalik/notify/issues/35.

Hi @piotrrojek !

None of the os watchers work on NTP filesystems, also affects Windows, FreeBSD and any other platform. If you want to have a shot at implementing polling, look at the API of non-recursive watcher implementations as watcher_inotify.go or watcher_kqueue.go.

As noted, closing as a duplicate.

Thanks for contributing!
