@AxelTheGerman Those sound like good improvements to make to the docs. Can you make a PR?
Just to note that the error message given in the terminal currently directs anyone hitting this issue to the main README which doesn't include any information on dealing with it.
Oops, before deleting the wiki, I meant to copy the references from wiki into the README.
@seandunn How does this look?
That's perfect, thanks @ColinDKelley.
Hi, I used Rails for years but now switched to Linux and for the first time ran into the issue of
Thanks for having great documentation, however I was wondering if we should improve it.
It says for ArchLinux to write the new config to
/etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf
but on my machine I already had/etc/sysctl.d/50-max_user_watches.conf
present which continued to overwrite the new limit I was trying to set.Maybe we should add a note to check the
/etc/sysctl.d/
directory for other config files that would overwrite the setting again? Maybe even add thisgrep
command to check the users existing configuration:Thanks!
