Description Arnob Alam 2006-02-14 08:54:26 UTC

I am using the gentoo-sources Kernel a Kernel with inotify support and /dev/inotify permissions set to 0644. Beagle complains that inotify isn't enabled.

here is some useful output:

alama@valiant ~ $ beagled --replace --fg --debug
Debug: Starting Beagle Daemon (version 0.1.2)
Debug: Command Line: /usr/lib64/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --replace --fg --debug
Debug: Starting main loop
Debug: Starting messaging server
Debug: Starting QueryDriver
Debug: Found index helper at /usr/lib64/beagle/beagled-index-helper
Debug: KMail folders not found. Will keep trying
inotify_init: Function not implemented
Inotify not supported!  You need a 2.6.13 kernel or later with CONFIG_INOTIFY enabled.Warn: Could not initialize inotify
Debug: Starting FileSystemWatcher Backend
Debug: Scanning for files in the IndexingService

(... snipped ...)

alama@valiant /dev $ ls -la inotify /dev/misc/inotify
