Thanks for the PR.
I think this is a little too Linux-specific. Maybe we should generalize the wording?

| **Why notification does not work with NFS exported filesystems & filesystem in userspace (FUSE)?** | ||
|
|
||
| fsnotify requires support from kernel to work.The current NFS kernel driver does not provide network level support for file notfication. | ||
| The current linux fuse layer does not have functionality to forward notification events to underlying filesystem. |

What about macOS? Probably the same limitation, though may need to word differently to cover it?
I'm not sure if FUSE is supported on Windows, so it may not be relevant there?

Yes, macOS has the same limitation w.r.t NFS. I will remove the FUSE part & make it more general.
