FUSE without allow_root - can incrond monitor the FS?

Open DiagonalArg opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I have a FUSE filesystem that does not have allow_root set, so only a normal user can access it. In particular, root can not monitor it. (This is Keybase's kbfs.) Is it possible to run incrond as a normal user?

I see that's not possible. And, while something like inotify/incron on the user level is possible, the FUSE developers have labeled it a "won't fix".
