NFS shares not refreshing content on clients, inotify

[el_pedriyo]

Hello,

I have been dealing this last days with a problem on my VMs, I am currently working with NFS shares, and my VMs have them mounted in, what I have found is that the internal services in my VMs are not able to refresh their content as the NFS shares does not work with something called inotify, that it is supposed to be a service that works on the kernel and notifies other services when a change in the HDD is being made. So I was just wondering which do you think could be the best solution to solve this issue, if there is any other alternative for NFS instead of using inotify, or something to fix it.

Kind regards,

Pedro

Did you find a resolution for this?

Hello,

No I couldn't find any. The only "fix" was to run an script for my external services like emby, plex, nextcloud, owncloud, I mean, everything using NFS, just to request them to reload the content and watch if any file was changed or added. Couldn't find to make inotify work via NFS or similar. Do you have any solution for that?

Kind regards
