== Unsupported File Systems

When enabled by default, file system watching acts conservatively when it encounters content on unsupported file systems.
This can happen if you mount a project directory or subdirectory from a network drive.
Gradle doesn't retain information about unsupported file systems between builds when enabled by default.
If you explicitly enable file system watching, Gradle retains information about unsupported file systems between builds.
