[Wellington-pm] Meeting Tonight

[Andrew Boag]

Just a note on inotify and samba (we tried a trick recently with this). 
When we mounted a windows drive via samba and tried to watch for events 
on the samba mount (generated from exterior systems), the events were 
not "seen" by inotify. Had to revert to the cron-ish "check every X 
minutes and notice new stuff"

not sure about NFS.
