Detecting directory changes

Is or has anyone made a formal request for a supported API to do this 
through the support center?

If so, can you let me know about it so I can lend what support I can to 
getting it implemented.

There is another SMB protocol part that needs it in order to properly 
support a Windows client, and this API would allow the OpenVMS port of 
SAMBA to support this.

I have also requested changes to the filesystem that if implemented will 
greatly speed up the operation of a stat() call, and allow it to 
optionally return the size of a non-stream file that a UNIX program expects.

There is definitely going to be work done in the filesystem area in the 
near future, but I am not in that group.

So now is a good time to make suggestions.
