[Qgis-developer] QGIS Mapserver - automatic project reloading after change is not working on NFS

Hi all,
Automatic reloading of QGIS project file is not working, if project file is
located on NFS or other network file system.

Reloading is implemented in 'src/server/qgsconfigcache.cpp' by
&mFileSystemWatcher which is using QFileSystemWatcher. The reason of this
behavior is, that QFileSystemWatcher depends on 'inotify' feature of Linux
kernel, which is not (and can't be) implemented in NFS.

Before trying to fix it by myself, I would like to ask others, for example
people from QGIS Cloud, how are you solving this problem without server
process restarting ?

I am thinking about adding some version variable to all QWS requests, which
will can be used by web application to request reloading of project file.

Thank you.
