Please check the logs in config/logs and see if there is anything in there. Some systems might have too many folders and not enough ionotify limit or some systems aren't supported at the OS level.

Internal buffer has been overflown multiple times in past 10 minutes. Suspending file watching for an hour. Restart count: 2 Too many restarts occured, you either have limited inotify or an OS constraint. Kavita will turn off folder watching to prevent high utilization of resources Folder watching is disabled at the server level, thus ignoring any requests to create folder watching

There seems to be a problem when adding more than two libraries while the Folder Watching feature is enabled. Is there a way to turn it back on if Folder Watching is disabled at the server level?

majora2007 commented 3 days ago

What Kavita is telling you is that you don't have the appropriate amount of inotify bandwidth to handle the changes, so the folder watching restarts and after 2 restarts turns off at the server level.

This can be due to having a large collection of files/folders or just not enough inotify handlers. You can adjust the limit, documented on our wiki.

You need to solve the issue before you turn if back on, otherwise Kavita will turn it back off when it hits this issue again.

I use folder watcher exclusively on my large library with no issues.
