Somewhat OT, but not sure where else to ask. I'm looking into an
issue where
the nepomuk strigi service is preventing a desktop with an NFS mounted home
directory from going into hibernate. I think this is because it continually
checks the available disk space in the home directory (about once every 20
seconds in current 4.5.2, once every 10 seconds in 4.4.5).
hibernate + network file systems has always been a rather tough nut .
NFS is built on the fact that multiple clients may have the same tree
open at the same time... so if you are going to hibernate you are
going to need to basicallly unmount because there is no guarentee that
anything underneath you will be there when you come out of
hibernation.
I'm wondering if there is any better way to monitor disk space
than by this
kind of polling. Any kind of inotify service? Or would this be worse on a
busy mount? Unless you could request notification only for reaching a threshold.
inotify would only work if the server somehow was able to give
information back to the client over inotify.
