@@ -65,6 +65,10 @@ There are OS-specific limits as to how many watches can be created:
 * Linux: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches contains the limit, reaching this limit results in a "no space left on device" error.
 * BSD / OSX: sysctl variables "kern.maxfiles" and "kern.maxfilesperproc", reaching these limits results in a "too many open files" error.
 
+**Why don't notifications work with NFS filesystems or filesystem in userspace (FUSE)?**
+
+fsnotify requires support from underlying OS to work. The current NFS protocol does not provide network level support for file notifications.
