Bug ID: 5323 Summary: watchman demands huge number of monitored files Product: Mercurial Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: feature Priority: wish Component: fsmonitor Assignee: bugzi...@selenic.com Reporter: sph...@gmail.com CC: mercurial-de...@selenic.com I used to use watchman successfully via hgwatchman, but since upgrading to hg 3.9 and switching to fsmonitor, it now keeps breaking and saying I need to increase the number of monitored files. It started out at 8192, and still wasn't happy when I bumped it to 65536. It never complained before with hgwatchman. I do have some large untracked directories inside of my tracked directories. Perhaps the behavior wrt those has changed? (Just speculating wildly.) warning: Watchman unavailable: A non-recoverable condition has triggered. Watchman needs your help! The triggering condition was at timestamp=1470783293: inotify-add-watch(/home/sfink/src/mozilla2/testing/web-platform/tests/presentation-api/receiving-ua) -> The user limit on the total number of inotify watches was reached; increase the fs.inotify.max_user_watches sysctl I tried playing with it to recreate the problem, but so far it's only made me bump it from 8192 -> 65536. I will continue using it to see if it gets angry again. But previously, 8192 was enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
