Thanks, I didn't know about fanotify. Now I'm wondering why everything I use day-to-day (file syncing tools, IDEs, etc.) still seems to be stuck with inotify if there is a better option on modern operating systems. Maybe some of them are actually using fanotify under the hood, despite components still having "inotify" in their name.
