Thanks for the very useful info. I am using one of the SUSE supplied kotd (kernel of the day) and I noticed that I have CONFIG_INOTIFY=y in .config. However, there is no /dev/inotify. Also dmesg | grep inotify does not show anything. How do I know what is the inotify minor version? Do I still need to apply inotify patches if CONFIG_INOTIFY=y for 2.6.14 kernel?
Make sure fstab contains the option user_xattr for the filesystem you
want to monitor. Minor 63 should be sufficient. When creating the
device manually calling 'mknod /dev/inotify c 10 63', do you get the
"no such device" error? Can you see /proc/sys/fs/inotify/?
