Hi list,
I would like to add a sysctl.d/10-arch.conf file to filesystem with the following content:
# Raise inotify resource limits fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 1024 fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
To fix https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47830 and other issues; e.g. "flow", used for JS development, runs a cache daemon that silently malfunctions and uses old source file content when it cannot create any more watches.
Any objections?
Greetings, Jan
I'm all for increasing the limits. In fact, all my systems have the limit increased to at least 65536, because the default isn't enough for some apps (Intellij Idea and readymedia comes to mind) Lukas
