[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 115801] max inotify user watches in the kernel should be increased for beagle indexing to be optimal

[Mads Chr. Olesen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: beagle

As described by Joe Shaw in
http://thomas.apestaart.org/log/?p=482#comment-2699 beagle will fall-
back to continously indexing a user's files, if it fails to inotfy watch
all directories for changes. The described solution is increasing
/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches to some higher value. Increasing
this number should not have any adverse effects, unless the watches are
actually used.

On my system I increased the number to 32768, as i have almost that many sub-directories in my homedir:
find . -type d | wc -l

I increased the value by adding "fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 32768" to
/etc/sysctl.conf, not sure if it can be done in some way only if beagle
has been installed?
