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?

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... =) > &g...

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.

Hi Friends, I have noticed below log in dovecot.log on my machine Centos 6.7 32 bit. Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 89 (UID vpopmail) exceeded, disabling. Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances I have increased manually but after reboot goto the same existing default value. How do i fix this issue permanently. Advance thanks for your help. -- *Thanks,* *Manikandan.C*

...to increase /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances) Works fine if I start it by hand, I'm guessing it has to due with the environment heart starts it in? My first thought was to do exactly what the message suggests, but my kernel doesn't appear to define max_user_instances, but there is a max_user_watches. I'm running 1.2.8, by the way. But I had a similar problem with earlier version too. John

Hi, I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE. It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5. For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I

Hello, Timo, last year when you remoted into our server and performed the migration from courier-imap, we ran into this issue, and you solved it by doing: echo 1024 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances Then you said you were going to solve this permanently by changing the init script... Here is what you said (this is from the skype chat): [2012-06-04 10:40:43 AM] timosirainen:

...g else? since it's a kernel message, I suspect just restarting dovecot won't do it. And what exactly is breaking when I receive this notification? The proc docs indicate: /proc/sys/fs/inotify (since Linux 2.6.13) This directory contains files max_queued_events, max_user_instances, and max_user_watches, that can be used to limit the amount of kernel memory consumed by the inotify interface. For further details, see <http://linux.die.net/man/7/inotify>inotify(7). Is this dovecot monitoring for new mail? thanks Rick [root at agencymail inotify]# dovecot -n # 1.1.8: /etc/dovecot.conf...

Hi, We have a serious issue running on our POP/IMAP servers these days. The load average of a servers spikes up to 400-500 as a uptime command result, for a particular time period , to be specific mostly in noon time and evening, but it last for few minutes only. We have 2 servers running dovecot 1.1.20 , in loadbanlancer, We have used KEEPLIVE (1.1.13) for loadbalacing. Server
