It needs 5.1 to be actually useful though: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/fanotify.7.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/fanotify.7.html In the original fanotify API, only a limited set of events was supported. In particular, there was no support for create, delete, and move events. The support for those events was added in Linux 5.1. (See inotify(7) for details of an API that did notify those events pre Linux 5.1.) https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.1-Fanotify-Improvements https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5....
