inotify.max_user_watches #17

Closed Sarke closed 6 years ago

Sarke commented 6 years ago

This is a common problem with Dropbox on linux where there are lots of folders. Please include the fix.

Unable to monitor entire Dropbox folder hierarchy. Please run "echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p" and restart Dropbox to fix the problem.

Nevermind, I think this has to be set on the host.
