*** Sergey Matveev [2021-08-23 17:10]: >And they exists. I tried https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify -- no >issues (except for https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/389). Several days ago I used fsnotify in NNCP: http://www.git.cypherpunks.ru/?p=nncp.git;a=commitdiff;h=726c119e6b2340994ada9fbd0e252acd31fb78b5 Currently no issues and problems discovered. It reduces unnecessary directory listing calls. But I have not seen drop of CPU usage. truss shows that there appeared huge quantity of nanosleep() calls, that have not seen before fsnotify usage. Probably that is the issue related only to Go+FreeBSD+kqueue. I have not check that commit under GNU/Linux currently. -- Sergey Matveev (http://www.stargrave.org/) OpenPGP: CF60 E89A 5923 1E76 E263 6422 AE1A 8109 E498 57EF
