I wouldn't set it to the max, but I think the default value should definitely be increased. Some more details on the matter: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/13757/143621 |
I kept getting an error on clementine and then it gets stuck on updating the library at 98% , saying "inotify_add_watch("/run/media/frost/MUSIC_old/Music/[Wheatus]") failed: "No space left on device"" while there is plenty of space free. My music collection is about 100 000 songs large and to run echo 1048576 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches fix the issue. This report here is connected with one crucial question: Is there any downside by setting this value such high? If not, is my suggestion to increase the default value to the maximum. Thanks a lot
