Yes, an instance is basically a file handle: I guess if SBS really cared, it could create multiple instances, each with 8k watches. There is a peruser limit (by default, 128 instances), and a per-instance limit of things to watch (by default, 8k). I believe SBS is just watching the directories, not the files in them (which makes sense: watching the directory would get additions and deletes, though not always changes... which is why it seems I need to rename things after updating tags). So 8k directories is a ton and should be plenty sufficient. Those with huge libraries would benefit from adding a line to /etc/sysctl.conf: fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 16384 -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78939 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
