Maybe I misunderstand you, but the name of the changed attribute is already included in the node monitoring message and even was under BeOS (unlike documented in the BeBook). Cf. src/system/kernel/fs/node_monitor.cpp:notify_attribute_changed(). Sorry, can't really comment any of your suggestions, since my networking knowledge is quite limited. I'm a big fan of file systems, though. :-P CU, Ingo
