Public bug reported: I created a watch C program that has different results on Ubuntu than it does on openSUSE, and the openSUSE results are the ones that I would expect. Program for reference here: https://gist.github.com/dradtke/c521a6a3aa831b3e6400
The gist of the program is that it uses inotify to watch for events related to the file hello.txt and print them out. When I make a change to the file, I expect that the IN_MODIFY event gets raised, but on Ubuntu, I instead get this: IN_MOVE_SELF IN_ATTRIB IN_DELETE_SELF afterwards no more events get generated because the file has been removed from the watch. Tested with a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: inotify -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493413 Title: Inotify fails to report IN_MODIFY events To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1493413/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
