New applications can use inotify too and don't need fam at all for filesystem monitoring. I do have fam installed as a dependency for gnome-vfs on my system, but I don't have the daemon running. As long as you don't run the daemon, there's nothing wrong with fam. The only reason to use fam nowadays is when you have an NFS mounted homedir that can't do inotify.
thanks! That's the answer i needed Since.. i can't remove fam because its libs are needed for some apps i use regularly inotify is included in the arch kernel right?
