Syncthing increase the inotify limit

To setup inotify handler. Please increase inotify limits

Linux typically restricts the amount of watches per user (usually 8192). When you have more directories you need to adjust that number.

On many Linux distributions you can run the following to fix it:

echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=204800" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

On Arch Linux and potentially others it is preferred to write this line into a separate file, i.e. you should run:

echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=204800" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/90-override.conf

This only takes effect after a reboot. To adjust the limit immediately, run:

echo 204800 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
