Leaving aside any other issues with fanotify, it doesn't seem to provide
this feature either; "man fanotify" says "Fanotify monitoring of
directories is not recursive: to monitor subdirectories under a
directory, additional marks must be created."

That aside, though, can you elaborate on other issues with fanotify?
(Or, do you have or know of something already written on that topic that
you could point to?)
