If an inotify watch isn't used, it uses no memory. So simply increasing the limit has no overhead on the system.
It's only when they're used that they actually consume kernel memory. I don't know exactly how much is used, but I believe there's no additional overhead other than the inotify structure in the kernel. -- max inotify user watches in the kernel should be increased for beagle indexing to be optimal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115801 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
