[QUOTE="Now Playing, post: 819593, member: 2381"] [b]Increasing inotify watchers[/b] Software that auto detects changes in your filesystem makes use of ionitify watchers to do its work. If you've many more files in a directory tree than configured inotify watchers it's likely some changes will [code]cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches[/code]go undetected. Ubuntu and Arch Linux default to 8192 watchers. Check your current inotify file watch limit:[code]cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches[/code] Increase it and make the change permanent: Arch Linux: [code]echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system sudo sysctl -p[/code] Debian, Ubuntu etc: [code]echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf sudo sysctl -p[/code] [/QUOTE]
