ItsRaining Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I have been reading and wrapping my brain trying to to change the Max Watches 'fs.inotify.max_user_watches' variable. I started trying to use the terminal using the following command: sudo sh echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=4194304 >> /etc/sysctl.conf sysctl -p This ended up just adding fs.inotify.max_user_watches=4194304 to the sysctl.conf and did not replace the variable. After reading a bunch of forum posts regarding the issue I was directed towards using the "tips and tweaks" plugin. Setting this variable to 4194304 did not actually change anything. I also tried 999999, 1048576, and 2097152. Realizing I needed to probably restart the server for the changes to take effect I restarted. I am still showing the default value in the terminal and tips and tweaks. Here is my original post on the Plex Linux Docker: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/issues/291 Any assistance would be appreciated! diagnostics-20211130-0645.zip Edited November 30, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If it's not changing, best to post in the Tips & Tweaks support thread Other than that, I'd guess that where you should be setting the value would be within the plex container, not on the host Quote Link to comment
ItsRaining Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) To my understanding changing it for the host changes the value for all the containers. As the container pulls this value from the host. I do not understand why I am unable to change the value for the host even using vi. I will submit my forth post to the tips and tweaks support thread. Hopefully they can help. Edited November 30, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
