No, it is not the same example, please bear with me, try with same conditions and with tramp-debug and file-notify-debug set: 1) Install helm 2) open a terminal outside emacs 3) run in emacs helm-find-files and navigate to /sudo::/home/you/tmp/ 4) go to the terminal opened in 2) and touch ~/tmp/test.txt 5) go back to emacs and see nothing happened Now do the same from emacs-27 and see in 5) that an *rm-watch happened.
