Coming back to an actual use case.

What I said above is one aspect but, since I'm looking at this right
now with systemd, and I do have the legacy code to fall back to, the
"just reset everything" suggestion does make sense.

But I'm struggling to see how I can identify notification buffer
overrun in libmount, and overrun is just one possibility for lost
notifications, so I like the idea that, as a library user, I can
work out that I need to take action based on what I have in the
notifications themselves.

Hmm, what's the other possibility for lost notifications?

Thanks,
