Hello I tried the inotify feature and I found I do not receive MOVE_TO events. I use linux 2.6.13 from Debian, ext3 filesystem. I set a watch on /tmp. When I move /tmp/file_a to /tmp/file_b I receive only one event on file_a (I assume it is move_from, I did not decode it). Attaching a small C program that I used to print events that occur on /tmp.
