Needing Additional Inputs on an Implementation of an Asset Manager with Hot Reloading Support
To support hot reloading, the asset manager definitely has to have some watcher thread, but I have that part dealt with already since I have decided to utilize notify. The other half is to find a way to reload all assets that have changes as determined by the watcher thread. What I am not sure about is how to implement this in a Rustic fashion and with clean architecture while also considering the fact that asset pointers may be held by other objects (such as an object representing an OpenGL program object).

FIM v0.4.6 - Realtime File monitoring tool
It is a great question. We have based the development on a library called notify, kudos to https://github.com/notify-rs/notify. This library adds a layer of abstraction to each system. It implements kernel-specific hooks as you mentioned. In some cases like Audit extended data, we have developed an integration that detects changes on the Audit log file and processes the given information including a lot of information into Linux systems. We have plans to include it in Windows as well.

Building a static site generator in 100 lines of Rust
In order to detect files changes, we use hotwatch, a simple wrapper over notify that will allow us to save a few lines.

Track what process modify file
The notify crate uses the inotify API on Linux. However, it's probably not what you want, since one of its limitations is:

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (48/2021)!
If you want to build this yourself, you'll want to build on something like notify - there are libraries like linemux built on top of it that will do a lot of this for you too.

Async file watcher, like notify-rs
Hey rust community, I'm currently writing a small app using Tokio, but running into a problem when trying to add a file watcher to it. I looked into available crates and found https://github.com/notify-rs/notify to be a good option, though it only exposes a sync interface.

Effectively monitoring very large number of files
I'm most well versed in Python so I started with that and eventually ended up with a POC using watchdog, but the program took more than a day and a half to traverse everything and register all of the watches. I've been trying to learn Rust for a while, and decided to perhaps use this as an excuse to try something 'real' and not just a learning exercise. I found the notify crate (https://github.com/notify-rs/notify) and basically copied their example listed on their GitHub, but even this takes about 16-18 hours to place all the watches before it starts processing events. I did not see any obvious ways to enable asynchronous or async/await code in notify, so I don't know of a way to parallelize the disk I/O with this approach.

Proper way of reading a constantly mutating file?
The notify crate is probably what you're looking for. It uses inotify on linux by default.
