That's irrelevant.
Well, I thought it would affect THAT user only.
# cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances 128
Why does 95 exceed 128?
You're using virtual users
No.
and you have over 128 connections running IDLE command.
That user is the ONLY user getting this error. He's the one user with the most subfolders.
I suppose I should update that error message a bit.. This is the second time this has been asked me today. Maybe:
"Inotify instance limit for user vmail (UID 1234) exceeded, disabling."
No, every user has his/her own UID :)
