Failure to exclude paths from inotify

[foux]

Hello,

I've got an issue with excluded folders from the IO trigger.

This used to be my trigger definition :

inotify:
    - priority: 0
      verbosity: 2
      include:
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Movies
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/TV\ Shows
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Music
      paths:
      - path: /datas/medias
      rewrite:
        - from: /datas/medias
          to: /mnt/user/medias

As I understood it, it should have sufficed, as I've got no problematic folders in my include. Nevertheless, rom time to time I've got the error : ERR Failed watching new directory error="watch directory: /datas/medias/Downloads/nzb/completed/......, while this folder is not supposed to be watched.

Nevermind, I added the excludes explicitely (I've added both the local path and the rewritten path to be sure, even though the rewritten path should have been sufficient) :

inotify:
    - priority: 0
      verbosity: 2
      include:
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Movies
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/TV\ Shows
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Music
      exclude:
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Downloads
        - ^/datas/medias/Downloads
      paths:
      - path: /datas/medias
      rewrite:
        - from: /datas/medias
          to: /mnt/user/medias

But, then again, from time to time : ERR Failed watching new directory error="watch directory: /datas/medias/Downloads/nzb/completed/...

I understand why Autoscan can't watch this folder, as folders and files are being quickly created/deleted, as it's an nzb download folder. What I don't get is why this directory is being watched, when it is not in my included paths, and more than that it is specificaly in my excluded paths.

Thanks!

I believe the paths will always be watched, the excludes just means to ignore inotify triggers from said paths. So you can add 3 paths (/data/medias/Movies, /data/medias/TV Shows, etc.) and this should avoid it watching downloads.

could probably just provide the library paths in a list under paths:

inotify:
  - priority: 0
      verbosity: 2
      include:
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Movies
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/TV\ Shows
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Music
      exclude:
        - ^/mnt/user/medias/Downloads
        - ^/datas/medias/Downloads
      paths:
        - path: /datas/medias/Movies
        - path: /datas/medias/TV\ Shows
        - path: /datas/medias/Music
      rewrite:
        - from: /datas/medias
          to: /mnt/user/medias
