File Watcher Plugin on Linux not working for NAS fileshare mountpoints

I was evaluating the File Watcher plugin to monitor the file counts inside the folders.

It is reporting proper metrics data for some of the folders but for the external NAS fileshare mountpoint the file watcher is not sending and metrics data.

I am unable to track anything in debug level logs as well
