https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281147 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 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joeshaw@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de 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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
