I do remember seeing something regarding the "inotify" function a year or
so ago. However, I thought that someone said there would be an update to
FreeBSD and that ability would be added. I updated to FreeBSD 10 hoping
that it would be able to run Dropbox without investing in a Rube Goldberg
setup. Considering that "DropBox" has been around for quite a while now, I
would have hoped that FreeBSD would have caught up with the technology.
