I've ran into this too, any idea on the cause for this?

[bpereto]

Not at the moment. I want to check if it's happening also on k8s. Could be a namespacing issues in docker / linux. Searching the Web doesn't give much more information about it.

I don't experience this on k8s with the following setup:

• Centos8 4.18.0-193.28.1.el8_2.x86_64
• docker-ce-19.03.13-3.el7.x86_64
• K8s: v1.19.3
• Repo on NFS

NFS does not seem to support inotify. related
