In FreeNAS 8.3.1 (based on FreeBSD 8) I am using wait_on to monitor for changes to specific hard drive areas. My question is: In FreeBSD 9.1 is there any replacement that does basically the same thing?
It's not that I don't like wait_on, but if there is something else out there, it might give me some other options to work with.
So what I've been doing is using MiniDLNA but the problem is, it will not rescan the designated database (let's say Movies) if there is an addition or deletion. I've been using a small script using wait_on to scan the area and if there is a change to restart MiniDLNA.
So I'm looking for other options since I will be moving over to FreeNAS 9.1 (based on FreeBSD 9.1) here shortly. I plan to test in a VM of course.
TIA,
Joe
