Isn't this a bit out of scope for the mailbox module, though? Mailbox is getting called at irregular intervals, and a clock monitor really wants to be a polling daemon of some sort, I think. In which case a complete application system that used the mailbox library could adjust the _skewtime appropriately based on the output of a daemon, if it really cares that much.
I think we're well into YAGNI territory, though. We are only concerned about how long one second is to the filesystem, and a filesystem that skews or jitters more than a tenth of a second over one second is probably pathological anyway.
As for the two second filesystem, my understanding is that is the FAT file system, and I say we just declare using maildir on FAT to be unsupported. (But I suppose that should be documented).
(As a side note, atime on FAT has a resolution of 1 day, which kind of screws up your "new mail" signal....) |
