fsnotify on shared file system; disabled or supposed to be partially working?
Answered
CLion informs me that "Project files cannot be watched (are they under network mount?)", because my project files indeed are located on a shared file system.
Does this mean that
1. fsnotify is indeed fully disabled, or
2. will monitoring of file changes be monitored as long as changes occur on the same nfs-client?
To me it seems one should be able to have inotify-support at least for nfs-client-local changes.
If 1 is the case, is there a way to force CLion to at least try (i.e., fall back to 2).

Hi!
The message means that IDE cannot monitor parts of your project by means of receiving notifications (using fsnotifier) about changed files and have to resort to periodical polling.
We are planning to add the ability to work remotely with source files (remote projects support) in the future, please feel free to comment or upvote the corresponding issue in out tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-744. Some works in this direction are in our plans for CLion 2018.1 (please see our roadmap).
