If this is true (I don't see this limitation in the inotify(7) man
page), it is specific to inotify. The MS-Windows equivalents work for
exported filesystems as well.
Nevertheless, the general observation is correct: these notifications
are not 100% reliable. Even for local filesystems, if the event queue
overflows, events are thrown away without being reported.
