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'.

You're not expecting files in newly created subdirectories to be reported, tho, are you? FAM should only report files (including directories) created in exactly that directory, for instance I don't think monitoring / reports any change to any file on the system (and it probably shouldn't): it only reports new entries directly in /.

It'd probably be easy for me to reproduce (and I will try when I get time), but if you'd sent the output of your own program and fam (running with -d), and clarify exactly what you expect, it would be helpful.

(Again, it might be best to attach this stuff to the bug if you have access to http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/.)

Thanks.
