limit for user exceeded

[Maciej Milaszewski]

Hi
I Dont understand or  I im thinking wrong:

process_limit = 25000


Older:

#fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 8192
#fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 16384

New:
fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 8192
 
fs.inotify.max_user_watches= process_limit x 2 + fs.inotify.max_user_instances
fs.inotify.max_user_watches= 58192
