It feels like last time I looked into this, fanotify was for some reason not suitable for most inotify use cases. Maybe this has changed. Would be great news if so.


Depends on when was the last time you look at it:

> In the original fanotify API, only a limited set of events was supported. In particular, there was no support for create, delete, and move events. The support for those events was added in Linux 5.1. (See inotify(7) for details of an API that did notify those events pre Linux 5.1.)
