CIFS - polling question

copossum opened this issue · comments

hi,

just a quick question...

in the readme section "Supported Platforms" it is stated that watchdog can be used independent of OS, although it is not recommended because it uses polling.
to use watchdog with CIFS you have to use PollingObserver, which uses polling.

Does that mean that it is not a good idea to use watchdog with CIFS at all?

I'm asking because I ran into this problem #802

thank you
