In some cases, the contents of a volume are sufficiently secret that it is not appropriate to log them. To disable logging on a per-volume basis (for creating a backup volume, for example), you must do the following:
Create a .fsevents directory at the top level of the volume.
Create an empty no_log file in that directory.
So if your volume is mounted at /Volumes/MyDisk, you would create an empty file called /Volumes/MyDisk/.fsevents/no_log.
