    File notification : inotify_init

    Hi,

    I am facing some different behaviour using inotify for notifying file changes.

    I added file notification for some file in /tmp directory with IN_MODIFY flag.
    when i modified contents in this file, i am able to read the notifications of this change and the mask value for this notification is IN_MODIFY(2).

    If i use same file with same source code in other directory(ex : /home), iam getting mask value as IN_IGNORED flag(3276. After this any modifications to the file, i am not getting any notifications.

    This is some strange behaviour.

    Please let me know if any body have idea.

    Though I'm not sure about exact error. May be check out this Monitor Linux file system events with inotify and sample application might help you out of the issue.
