trigger inotify event over NFS on Linux?


Sorry, it's just not a feature.

You could implement some sort of semaphore thing by using incrond to monitor the local filesystem, then do something (touch a file, trigger a script, etc.) on the remote machine to tell it there's been an update, but there's no native functionality in NFS.


Now I'm using Docker for Mac. I still use NFS because of the bad file sharing performence with osxfs. I have written a sublime text 3 plugin, to do the touch automatically, this solves my use case.
