Description Stefan Brüns 2012-02-12 17:26:29 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

/etc/mtab points to /proc/self/mounts on Linux. As inotify only works for regular files, no changes are picked up.

/proc/[self/]mounts should be monitored with select(n, ..., ..., {mounts_fd, ...} ) on Linux



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Mount/umount a smb/cifs/nfs network share under Linux.

Actual Results:  
no signal emitted

Expected Results:  
emit mtabChanged
