Hi Guys,
I just installed fam-2.7.0 in a Redhat 7.2 system with kernel 2.4.20-24.7.
Reading the mailing list and the FAQ I got the idea that dnotify is built in in
any 2.4.x kernel. Does FAM use this feature of the kernel?
Now, when I tried to install a older version of fam (2.6.9), it gave me specific
indication that IMON support is not installed in the kernel. But, when I
installed fam 2.7.0, it did not tell me anything, just installed nice and
smooth. Although, I have installed dnotify (dnotify-0.14.0) from
http://www.student.lu.se/~nbi98oli/dnotify.html, thinking maybe I will need
this.
I have also used the fam_mirror perl script to do some real-time copying. YEAH!
FAM Rocks!
Question is, I have no idea whether FAM is using its POLLING system or dnotify
that I installed or the dnotify in the kernel.
Can somebody please give me any clues how can I determine that? I must be
missing something.
Regards,
