Mounts

Klunok uses the Linux fanotify API to monitor entire subtrees of the file system. This feature works only when the subtree is a mount point. / is always a mount point.

If Klunok is requested to monitor a directory that is not a mount point, it bind-mounts the directory to itself. Such a mount point is completely transparent for most use cases. If you would like to avoid the automatic bind-mounting for some reason, mount the directory yourself before launching Klunok.

Klunok does not monitor nested mount points by default. For example, if /home/nazar/mnt is a mount point, klunok -w /home/nazar won't monitor files within /home/nazar/mnt. If this is not the desired behavior, list nested mount points explicitly: klunok -w /home/nazar/mnt -w /home/nazar.
