Bug Description
Binary package hint: gamin
Gamin Version: 0.1.9-2ubuntu2 (Ubuntu 8.04) seems to not notice file creation events on an NFS4 share. It *does* recognize local file creation under NFS version 3.
First, we'll mount with NFSv3:
machine# mount -t nfs server:/home /mnt/
machine$ gvfs-monitor-dir /mnt/valentyn/
[ in other terminal: ]machine$ touch /mnt/valentyn/
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/valentyn/
Event = CREATED
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/valentyn/
Event = ATTRIB CHANGED
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/valentyn/
Event = CHANGES_DONE_HINT
Now, we'll try this again with nfsv4:
machine# mount -t nfs4 server:/home /mnt/
machine$ gvfs-monitor-dir /mnt/valentyn/
[ in other terminal: ]machine$ touch /mnt/valentyn/
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/valentyn/
Event = ATTRIB CHANGED
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/valentyn/
Event = CHANGES_DONE_HINT
As you see, the ATTRIB CHANGED and CHANGES_DONE_HINT events show up, but the CREATED event is missing.
This only goes for files, if you create a directory, it will show up immediately (as expected).

It would be great if this issue could be confirmed with the most recent gamin version 0.1.10-1ubuntu1 available in the latest Karmic alpha release:
https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ gamin/0. 1.10-1ubuntu1/ +build/ 1060326
Although I'm not sure if this bug would qualify for a Stable Release Update for Hardy, in order for any bug to qualify for a Stable Release Update it must be confirmed as fixed in the actively developed release (ie Karmic). See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/StableRelea seUpdates for more information. Please let us know your results. Thanks.
