Asynchronous disk space monitoring

[Orion Poplawski]

Somewhat OT, but not sure where else to ask.  I'm looking into an issue where 
the nepomuk strigi service is preventing a desktop with an NFS mounted home 
directory from going into hibernate.  I think this is because it continually 
checks the available disk space in the home directory (about once every 20 
seconds in current 4.5.2, once every 10 seconds in 4.4.5).

I'm wondering if there is any better way to monitor disk space than by this 
kind of polling.  Any kind of inotify service?  Or would this be worse on a 
busy mount?  Unless you could request notification only for reaching a threshold.
