Todayinotify has limitaions on watch for chagnes into particular filesystem or mount point. Here is a short list

• Mountend volumes from Docker containers in a Microsoft Windows host.
• Mountend directories with file system SMB/NFS from GNU/Linux host.

In all of this cases you can useinotifywait-polling instead of classicinotifywait to watch for changes into the above scenarious.

The most common way to install the project is from GitHub source

git clone https://github.com/javanile/inotifywait-polling.gitsudo cp ./inotifywait-polling/inotifywait-polling.sh /usr/local/bin/inotifywait-pollingchmod +x /usr/local/bin/inotifywait-polling

It works exactly like the original, so it accepts the same options, with the only difference that it checks every 5 seconds that your target has changed or not (unfortunately this is the only way around the problem in those file systems where the original does not work).

$ inotifywait-polling$HOMESetting up watches.Watches established.

RUN curl -s https://javanile.github.io/inotifywait-polling/setup.sh| bin=inotifywait bash -
