From the patch announcement: The following 3 line change to fam enables large file support. Without it, fam will send delete events to anyone interested in a large file. Nautilus users can see the results of this bug by creating a large file (e.g. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigZero bs=256k count=8000") and then selecting it with nautilus. Without a patched fam, the file will disappear. --- This is an updated ebuild for fam-oss that incorporates the patch (originally from the message referenced in the URL). I have tested it on two systems with positive results (it does fix the bug). The stop() portion of the rc script is still broken, btw.

hmm ok, now if only i had some diskspace.. liquidx can you test it somewhere maybe ?
yep tested and works well. the test case wasn't exactly correct tho, it was more like : dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigZero bs=256k count=8001 or count >8000. anyway, indeed the file appears and then disappears when fam gets around to it. i've committed this to fam-oss-2.6.9-r3. thanks.
