dnotify locks the files or directories you want to watch, so it would |

prevent external media from being unmounted. dnotify also uses a file |
| 7 |
descripter per watched item, which could get interesting for large |
| 8 |
amounts of watches! |

I'm not sure about FAM, but Gamin uses inotify or dnotify anyway (in |
| 11 |
Linux). I think they're all designed in a similar way: you have to |
| 12 |
register a whole bunch of files or directories to watch. |
