Does FAM something else than polling under Solaris 10?
Sure, FAM is certainly a solution if you want to reduce the load of
polling by multiple processes, to poll more efficiently over networks,
and to do all this by the help of a portable framework. Nevertheless,
it would be interesting whether native Solaris support for change
notifications is available or expected to become available under current
or forthcoming Solaris releases or file systems.
