So I installed the inotify-tools package. I still get
the
File notification error: No file notification program found on /ssh:root@fs2:
message, though.
But automatic refresh of dired buffers in tramp does
now work.
What about those messages?
Ciao; Gregor

Did you restart Emacs, in order to avoid stale caches?

Hmm.

They tell you to run Tramp with tramp-verbose 6, and to send the Tramp
debug buffer. Preferred directly to me, in order not to clog the mailing
list.
As usual, start with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# emacs -Q --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 6)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.

Hello, I'm visiting a directory which is under version
control (git) on a remote machine (still debian/buster)
and get the following error:
Tramp: Opening connection nil for root@fs2 using ssh...done
File notification error: No file notification program found on /ssh:root@fs2:
While I can work with the files there the message is
shown all the time and is at least annoying, and file
notification might be useful. But I did not find what
to do in the fine manual.
I assume I should instal a helper program on the remote
machine, but AFAIK there are several file system change
notifiers. Does anyone know which is best/easiest for
tramp?
Thanks, Gregor

Tramp supports "inotifywait" and "gio monitor" calls on the remote side.
