I am sharing multiple folders on two linux computers. Both are running the same version of linux, and both are running the latest version of Syncthing. On one computer everything appears to be running with no problems. On the other, I get warnings about running out of watchers sometimes for only one folder, sometimes for all.
I followed the instructions for increasing the limit in /etc/sysctl.conf, but that had no effect. I even tried increasing the watchers to the max allowed. That didn’t work either.
I found a method on line to query the OS for the number of watchers actually in use. The respnse was “8181”.
Any ideas why syncthing thinks I am out of watchers?
