    journal: provide an API that allows client to figure out whether they need to recheck the journal manually for changes in regular intervals
    
    Network file systems generally do not offer inotify() that would work
    across the network. We hence cannot rely on inotify() exclusiely in
    those case. Provide an API to determine these cases, and suggest doing
    manual regular rechecks.
    
    Note that this is not complete yet, as we need to rescan journal dirs on
    network file systems explicitly to find new/removed files
