I use inotify as gio backend for more than year w/o any issues.

But this patch has one drawback - it unconditionally disables watching for file
content modifications in watched directories with removing of IN_MODIFY,
IN_ATTRIB and IN_CLOSE_WRITE flags from inotify_add_watch() arguments.
Right way IMO is to leave this flags for local directories and remove it for
watching for network mounts and removable devices. Something similar is done
for native kqueue gio backend but not for inotify:
