Description Jesse Michael 2005-10-17 20:43:18 UTC 
Currently, inotify uses an internal inotifyfs filesystem that isn't attached to
the regular filesystem tree.

When applications use inotify, this causes the apparmor kernel module to
generate rejection messages that don't have a leading / as part of the filename.

This causes problems when creating profiles for these applications because all
paths are expected to be fully qualified and those without a leading / are
considered to be a syntax error by the current set of tools.
