*fswatch-limitations*
|

When on Linux and using fswatch, you may need to increase the maximum number
|
||||
of `inotify` watches and queued events as the default limit can be too low. To
|
||||
increase the limit, run: >sh
|
||||
sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000
|
||||
sysctl fs.inotify.max_queued_events=100000
|
||||
<
|
||||
This will increase the limit to 100000 watches and queued events. These lines
|
||||
can be added to `/etc/sysctl.conf` to make the changes persistent.
