After a bit of looking it looks like a tweak to gamin works here. I
added this:
***** ~/.gaminrc *****
notify /.amd/*
fsset nfs poll 60
And my problems seem to have gone away which is perplexing because I
would have figured that the default was:
notify /*
This tells gamin to use kqueue() to sense filesystem changes rather
than polling. Nautilus is using gamin to see when the state of the
filesystem changes and it appears that gamin is polling the filesystem
rather than using the kernel kqueue() mechanism. But that doesn't seem
right to me.
I didn't mention it before but the amd setup is primarily to mount a
set of NFS fileservers. Having it handle removable media is just a
configuration serendipity which allows me to run with
vfs.usermount=3D0. HAL looks interesting to me but I'm wondering if it's
structure is rigid or if I can script it to work within my amd
framework. That's a different question which I will look into when I
get a chance to upgrade to 6.2-RELEASE.
