hey @Patrick/STH,

Been testing this pretty extensively and ran across a bug we'd all benefit from knowing about.

Anyone running a large number of VM's and CT's on a single host will eventually run into this. Clean install or upgrade it looks like.

Here's the bug, 1042 – increase the default value for fs.inotify.max_user_*

inotify limits.

file missing is

Code:
/etc/sysctl.d/10-pve-ct-inotify-limits.conf
contents

Code:
fs.inotify.max_queued_events = 8388608
fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 65536
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 4194304
Reboot to see this fixed after creating the above vile with the above contents.

NOTE, this will be resolved on the next update of pve-container package.

It looks like that regressed. The first report was in 2016. Is it only containers or VMs too?

regression indeed.

I run about 50-70 CT's and constantly run into this problem. couple CM's supposedly it's both but I don't know first hand.
