That question didn't get very much traction. Not that many LXDE users left, but I use it. I'm more like 99.5% stable or better. Using gnome-base/gvfs-1.42.2. I very rarely experience a directory not refreshing in PCManFM. Usually a refresh happens as soon as a change occurs.
I don't think gvfs version was the problem.

Indeed, version upgrade didn't really fixed things as at first claimed.
Seems like an openbox+lxde thing, as pcmanfm has expected behaviour under gnome.
No idea what to inspect...

Finally seems related to default value here: | Code: | cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
8192 |
It wasn't set in /etc/sysctl.conf.
Can't recall if I removed something in this respect from eventual gentoo defaults.
Failure occurs depending on current user_watches.
Can be changed via command as root; e.g.: | Code: | | sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16384 |
that will reset at reboot.
Permanent change can be set in /etc/sysctl.conf, e.g.: | Code: | | fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16384 |
So should happend with other file browsers.
Mind it's memory consuming, no idea of the amount though it should be small per unit.
Consequently CONFIG_DNOTIFY=yes removed from kernel.

It sounds like the wrong hammer. Here are my NOTIFY kernel .config settings:
| Code: | $ grep NOTIFY /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
# CONFIG_FANOTIFY is not set
|
My kernel is the most recent stable 4.9 series (233). I don't do anything special.
