fsnotify utilizes golang.org/x/sys rather than syscall from the standard library. Ensure you have the latest version installed. fsnotify is a fork of howeyc/fsnotify with a new API as of v1.0. The API is based on this design document. All releases are tagged based on Semantic Versioning. Further API changes are planned, and will be tagged with a new major revision number. Go 1.6 supports dependencies located in the vendor/ folder. Unless you are creating a library, it is recommended that you copy fsnotify into vendor/github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify within your project, and likewise for golang.org/x/sys. fsnotify requires support from underlying OS to work. The current NFS protocol does not provide network level support for file notifications.
