QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: ,inotify_add_watch failed: No
space left on device
I've been having this error message come out on the tty of my app for
months.
I'm running on linux OpenSuse 10.2.
I finally got around to trying to fix it today. Googling:
inotify_add_watch increase limit
I found:
http://www.antezeta.com/beagle-fedora.html
...
If you see the message /inotify_add_watch: no space left on device/
/Maximum watch limit hit. Try adjusting
/sys/class/misc/inotify/max_user_watches/
beagle is hitting the kernel limit for the number of directories a
single process can monitor. The default is 8192. The beagle
documenations says "16384 is good, 32768 is probably more than enough."
Increase the limit by typing (as root):
/# echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
/The higher this number, the more memory is consumed. The command should
be put in a system start script if you want to maintain this change.
...
I did this and now all is good. Hopefully this will be useful to someone
else.
