The changes introduced in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725178 allowed monitoring NFS home directories, but also made us start monitoring other NFS mounts, which is problematic. Given that things work better in RHEL7, and backporting is hard, I think we should revert to the previous RHEL6 behavior (no glib change monitoring on NFS).
I posted in the previous BZ as well, but is there any workaround for disabling this available? this causes issues with netapp filers which may be used for centralized home directories
See the following comment for possible workarounds: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367175#c3
(In reply to Ondrej Holy from comment #5) > See the following comment for possible workarounds: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367175#c3 Another workaround that is possible is to exclude the monitoring at all in /etc/gamin/gaminrc for nfs and autofs. Add new line as below and kill the gam_server to get it respawned. fsset nfs none fsset autofs none Of course this introduced new issue which is any changes on the filesystem wont be reflected automatically. At least this is to save performance on the netapp filer that might impacting critical service on NFS. Lesser of two evils I would say.
ne approach we could consider is introducing a "config file" like /etc/glib2-monitor-nfs that if present, would do global NFS monitoring. Or an environment variable. That would allow desktop users with NFS home directories they do want to monitor to enable it.
