[Mono-list] FileSystemWatcher on Linux to monitor a remote NTFS share

[colinjones]

Then what you are saying is that this class is not a correct implementation
of the .NET class. This is a COM event registration which uses COM
communications, nothing whatsoever to do with CIFS/SMB/SAMBA. The UNC is
just to tell the class where to connect the COM object to. Unfortunately,
mounting the share locally will not work either, as the class will then just
attempt to use inotify to monitor it which will not work. The only way
around it would be to use the managed/polling option which would defeat the
purpose as we are trying to get a "push" notification.

thx anyway!
