Hi guys just to let you know 
I've experienced problems with running "less" command because of inotify limit 
which was 
8192 on my machine
It was hard to diagnose as a message I got from "less" was very misleading 
like 
tail: cannot watch `catalina.out': No space left on device
there was plenty of space and the real reason was inotify watchers had been 
eaten by ubuntuone ;-) 
This can affect many users and a lot of others applications 
i so dropbox is displaying a message to the user when inotify limit is reached 
I think you should do the same to let the users know what is going on 
to avoid unnecessary frustration and save their time 

Thanks for making ubuntuone 
Szymon
