[fam] imon hash table overflow

[Stephan Duehr <duehr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

when using fam and imon on directories with about 30000 files,
the kernel says:
        kernel: /dev/imon: hash table overflow
and fam polls the directory (strace on the fam process shows
many lstat64 calls).
I tried to increase hash table size by 
        modprobe imon imon_hashhisize=96
The hash table overflows remained.
I increased the value until the kernel crashed (at about 128).

Is there a way to enable the use of hash table for large directories?
Or does it make no sense to do that for some reason?

Regards

Stephan
