Not all filesystem types support kqueue-style notifications.
And even
some that do, like some remote filesystems, may only support a
subset of
the notification semantics described here.
Which filesystems are supported?
If memory serves me correct, just HFS in Tiger. But we're trying (no
promises) to move that logic up to the VFS layer so that all file
systems get it for free.
It is worth noting that even once this is at the VFS layer, there will
still be issues. I believe that network file systems are unlikely to
support this. The protocol would need to push this information to the
clients.
