Subject: Maximum number of inotify watches
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:59:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bbaaf72bb3386008c77db2e16112b330@ceata.org> (raw)
Hello,
I want to monitor all the files on a server using one instance of
inotify and about 20M watches recursively set on directories in '/' tree
substructure. I'd want to be notified about all type of events defined
by inotify (create, delete, access, modify etc.)
Assuming this monitor daemon running in user-space keeps up with the
frequency of new events in the kernel queue (it reads them), is it
possible to exceed the kernel memory limit because there are too many
watches and events?
TIA,
Tibi
