As I said in my original bug report, I am not sure, see below.

Indeed, that is also why I also mentioned the usb stick. Isn't inotify
integrated in the file system? I suspect this issue result from the fact
that the stick has vfat fs.

So my question: could the same problem be with vfat? And if so, where
should this bug go, to upstart (to check for the file system)?

By the way, the bugs I set as duplicates yesterday are probably not dups
of this bug, but more likely related to bug 986892.
