💻 Code

Setup reproduction project:

npm init -y
npm i typescript
npx tsc --watch index.ts

Error occurs regardless of code, this is the code I used:

console.log("test")

Here's a copy of the project: Reproduction.zip

🙁 Actual behavior

Typescript compiles files once, but does not react to changes. Instead an error message is printed to console.

failed to watch directory /mnt/solid/Code/Experiment/Reproduction: fanotify_mark on '/mnt/solid/Code/Experiment/Reproduction' failed: no such device

OS: Linux ChodbaU 5.15.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 5 11:43:13 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Filesystem: NTFS, loaded using fuseblk

🙂 Expected behavior

Typescript should react to file changes

Additional information about the issue

Everything works on my primary partition, which is ext3. I have encountered this error when upgrading my project to Typescript 7. I have verified that it is not an issue with my project by creating a simpler example.

One issue is relevant: #63646. I believe this is not a duplicate for the following reasons:

• they also get a fanotify_mark error, but a different error message (operation not supported vs no such device)
• they get their error in Docker while I encountered it on bare metal
