Hi, Fernando. |
204 |
|
205 |
Thanks for your advice, but this is not the case. The sysctl init script is |
206 |
already in "boot" level. |
207 |
|
208 |
But I've solved this issue by doubling the value on this file: |
209 |
|
210 |
~ # cat /etc/sysctl.d/97-kde-baloo-filewatch-inotify.conf |
211 |
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 1048575 |
212 |
|
213 |
Now there's just the feeling that whatever way the developers found to |
214 |
automatically set this value is not correctly detecting the needs of what |
215 |
it should be for each situation. |
216 |
|
217 |
Probably I'm keeping buffers unoccupied, some day I'll try to reduce this |
218 |
value... perhaps ;-) |
219 |
|
220 |
Many thanks for all who has taken the time to bother with my issue! |
221 |
|
222 |
Best regards, |
223 |
