Hmm, are you using metalog as syslog daemon? If so,
they use memory buffers for the messages and moreover
they have some bugs in handling of a kernel function
adding multiple lines "at once" to the log (i.e. in
the same function)...
Just wondering...
But as for Fam, monitoring the syslog or any other
local file works fine for me.
Just double check that the file is not buffered (if
you 'tail -f' the file, does it show up right at the
time it was added or not?)
Did you compile Fam on your own? If so, did you apply
the DNotify patch? (assuming here that you use a 2.4.x
kernel)
