Hi System debian 8.11 dovecot-2.2.36.4 and I have some warnings in log likes: Warning: Inotify watch limit for user exceeded, disabling. Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches 8192 in sysctl i change #fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 8192 #fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 16384 fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 16384 fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 24576 One questions - should these values be equal?
We usually set them to twice the number of process_limit for imap.

Sorry, ment that we *increase* the current value with twice the process limit for IMAP.

Hi I Dont understand or? I im thinking wrong: process_limit = 25000 Older: #fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 8192 #fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 16384 New: fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 8192 ? fs.inotify.max_user_watches= process_limit x 2 + fs.inotify.max_user_instances fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 58192 On 31.03.2020 13:44, Aki Tuomi wrote:> I would prefer replies on the list... =) > > no. the idea is to *increase* the *current* value of fs.inotify.max_user_watches and fs.inotify.max_user_instances with 50000 > > fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 8192 + 50000 = 58192 > > Aki > >> On 31/03/2020 14:21 Maciej Milaszewski <maciej.milaszewski at iq.pl> wrote: >> >> >> Hi >> How I understood it correctly >> >> service imap { >> ? process_limit = 25000 >> } >> >> fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 50000 >> fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 50000 >> >> ? >> >> >> On 31.03.2020 12:14, Aki Tuomi wrote: >>> Sorry, ment that we *increase* the current value with twice the process limit for IMAP. >>> >>> Aki >>> >>>> On 31/03/2020 13:12 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi at open-xchange.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> We usually set them to twice the number of process_limit for imap. >>>> >>>> Aki >>>> >>>>> On 31/03/2020 12:29 Maciej Milaszewski <maciej.milaszewski at iq.pl> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Hi >>>>> System debian 8.11 dovecot-2.2.36.4 and I have some warnings in log likes: >>>>> >>>>> Warning: Inotify watch limit for user exceeded, disabling.
