Hi John.

The problem is identical on the two test machines described below.

  1) Sony VIAO notebook 500Mhz, 256MB RAM, Mandrake Linux 8.0, fam 2.6.7
  2) Dual 933Mhz Zeon, 512MB ram, Redhat Linux 7.1, fam 2.6.5

We never released a FAM 2.6.5; I think Red Hat 7.1 would have come with FAM 2.6.4.

Out of interest, do you know what kernel monitor they're using (it would be DNotify if you're using Red Hat FAM RPMs)? Unfortunately, there's no really easy way of determining this (but I'm working on it!).

[...]

When we decompress (tar xvfz) an archive with a fair number of files (>50) and folders (>10) into the montored folder, fam does not send a 'create' for all of the new files and folders. It always sends an 'exists' but not always 'created'. Sometimes only the first folder in the archive gets the 'created' and the rest are 'exists' and other times 1/4 to 1/2 (random?) of the files generate a 'created' the rest only 'exists'. My assumption is that fam cannot keep up, that the whole thing happens too quickly. Could this be the case?

Yes, it could.  I'll look into it.

If you need any additional information, let me know. I can even email the test program my co-worker wrote if it would be helpful.

Sure.  Perhaps you could attach the source to the bug I filed.
