:  BTW, watchfs won't poll files.  Watchfs interposes itself
:  in the middle of a 9p transaction and send a message to
:  activate a program whenever it sees Tclunk on modified files.

But in that case you'd have to poll, don't you?
Otherwise, what do you do if some process changes the file
from outside (eg by mounting the fs where the real file stands).

What am I missing?

thanks
