AFAIK, the Linux implementation of NFS doesn't support inotify-like event notification from the server-side -- is there a workaround, patch, or alternative solution that can produce the same data?

According to this mail, running an inotify watcher on the server exporting the filesystem should catch when clients write to the filesystem.
Really, I'd recommend trying it. I find that it's usually best to give things a shot oneself, even if success seems unlikely (as long as there is no harm in doing so, of course).
jhs : +1. It may not work in all situations, but this is exactly the idea that occured to me when I read the question. Perhaps you could add some sort of queuing system like RabbitMQ so that clients can pick up notification messages remotely.From eternaleye -
FAM used to have this feature way back when. I don't know if it has been/can be ported to use inotify as a backend, though...
