           Summary: We should increase fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 65536
                    in /etc/sysctl.conf
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Alpha 4plus
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem

A common problem for users with large home directories is that Beagle tends to
use up all of the inotify watches as it monitors file changes for indexing.  We
should set fs.inotify.max_user_watches in /etc/sysctl.conf to a pretty high
value like 65536 -- the default is 8192 -- to help alleviate this problem for
many users.

Kernel memory is allocated as the watches are taken, so for those who would not
use additional watches, there is no adverse effect.
