Linux restart inotify configuration max_user_watches is invalid and is restored. The default value 8192 is correct.

In Linux, an important configuration for Rsync + inotify-tools to implement real-time data synchronization is to set the max_user_watches value of Inotify. If this value is not set, errors may occur when a large number of files are encountered.

Generally, you can directly modify the file as follows:

/Proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

Or the modification method is as follows:

Sysctl-w fs. inotify. max_user_watches = "99999999"

However, after these modifications, the Linux system restarts inotify and the configuration of max_user_watches is invalid. The default value is 8192. Many new users may not understand this. I will not explain it in detail. If you are free to understand it: sysctl

Haole, okay, very simple ..
