This becomes a problem if you want to watch an entire filesystem, but it works great for small portions of the tree. The impact on the system is just the same as if you were to poll(2) or select(2) all of those nodes, except that your process only allocates one descriptor for the kqueue, not one for each node. -- Jonathan Mini <mini@freebsd.org> http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
