Auto Import -> CIFS/Samba/Shares

If the filesystem doesn't support inotify (the add watch fails) then the watch folder will be scanned once every 2 hours.

So I've discovered that's not working properly since the inotify setup doesn't return an error. Unfortunately even though samba supports notify support it seems cifs mounts do not.
(several references to that on the net) and I've verified that it doesn't work. Will be in the pipeline for a fix...

That would explain why inotify is triggering auto-import on Linux-hosted samba shares for my windows MC server, but not for OP's linux server.

Hendrik:
Sounds like the VFS layer doesn't support this, sounds like something that won't be fixed on a OS level for years to come, unfortunate for cifs shares really.
