In Linux, everything is a file, so parameters related to files are very important. Here, we mainly discuss the issue of file handles. A file handle can be simply understood as the number of files that can be opened simultaneously. The parameters related to file handles include the following:
| Parameter Name | Recommended Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
<span>fs.inotify.max_user_watches</span> |
1048576 | Each user can monitor up to 1 million files |
<span>fs.inotify.max_user_instances</span> |
1024 | Number of inotify instances per user |
<span>ulimit -n</span> or <span>LimitNOFILE</span> |
65535 or higher | File handle limit |
If the following error occurs, it is generally related to this:
Failed to allocate directory watch: Too many open filesNo space left on device (inotify watch limit reached)Additional Information:Common issues in life can be summarized in the following two situations:
- Having too little: The desired and the actual possession do not match
- Wanting too much: Wanting everything at once, how can that be? We need to weigh our desires, and happiness will immediately increase.
Thus, the traditional culture of the Chinese nation has the idea of moderation. Moderation can be simply understood as neither too much nor too little. This balance is difficult to grasp, but if managed well, it can lead to great happiness!
