dovecot - May 2008 - Inotify instance limit for user exceeded, disabling.

Hi.

What does the warning "Inotify instance limit for user exceeded,
disabling." mean, and how do I get rid of it? I assume that I have to
change a limit somewhere?


Regards,
Anders.

Okay, reading the source has me think that this is an OS limit, so I
increased /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

Is there some way to calculate the upper limit? I imaging that each folder
in each connection needs a watch?


Cheers,
