I checked. It seems like you cannot set watches on an umounted drive and then
mount it. So, there's no race-free way of setting watches before mounting.
Watches that are set and then the partition is unmounted & mounted survive.
This type of thing is beyond the scope of what we're doing.
Watches set on a file within a directory that gets renamed are deleted even
though the inode is the same:
Yes, that problem has been addressed and should no longer be the behavior
in audit.52. Rename()'ing a directory does not destroy its watchlist.
Have you tried toe latest update? If we still are draining the watchlist on a r
rename() that definitely needs to go away.
