• [$] An update on fanotify

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Tue Jun 9 06:40:08 2026
    In a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,
    Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Amir Goldstein updated
    attendees on the fanotify
    filesystem-event monitoring
    subsystem. He wanted to describe changes that had come in the last year or
    so, as well as upcoming features and some remaining challenges in his
    efforts to use fanotify for hierarchical
    storage management (HSM). Fanotify is the user-space API for monitoring
    files, directories, and filesystems for events of various sorts
    (e.g. opening or deleting a file).
