We don't currently allow this value to be tuned via LX /proc, but if you
absolutely must tune it, you can tune inotify_maxwatches to a higher number
via /etc/system on the host (or via mdb -kw, if you'd prefer to not reboot).
It's not impossible for us to make this tunable on a per-zone basis, we
just didn't bother because we didn't think apps were depending on it. What
is CrashPlan trying to set it to?
