Do you have installed the system?

Because I’m a fool

Sorry

I need to launch multiple node.js servers on my machine. Sometimes I am getting the following error:
Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached

I do have 524288 in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches, which is apparently the maximum. However, it seems like still not enough for my needs. Is there a workaround?

We have 32768 on our large host servers and that’s fine, if you’re exceeding that, something is broken.

I have two large projects, I need to launch the dev server on them and also launch neovim with typescript-language-server indexing both of them (which also runs on node)

When I say large I mean hundreds of GB of RAM and tens of servers.

You should definitely be able to launch 2 app servers without exhausting half a million watches, something is broken

Seems like one of the project has more than 500k files

Are you sure you’re not exhausting max_user_instances instead?

Hm, don’t know, but the error is Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached

And here did neovim fail

[NvimTree] Could not start the fs_event watcher for path [path] : ENOSPC

It looks like even the dynamic maximum is double that of what you have

And it’s actually set dynamically since 5.11, TIL.

Oh, thanks. Everyone suggest that value on the internet though

Hi! I actually left my system after pacstrap and it turned off. Now after booting up again (with iso obviously) my boot partition is empty but tere are files in root partition.

Should I run pacstrap again?

You don’t have to if it finished running before.
If you interrupted it mid install however, you’re probably better off nuking the root partition and pacstrapping anew.

Okay 👍

So I thought “since only files in /boot are missing, I should probably run # pacstrap /mnt linux”
And after setting up the bootloader (systemd) and doing all other things I rebooted. Now I have a system with no tty, no package manager and I’m promoted at [rootfs ]#

FML

And this is not the first time I’m installing arch. I’ve done it 3 times before

Do you have installed the system?

lol, that’s a very doubtful edit actually

like, who recommends linux-zen and why

Isn’t zen optimized for zen CPUs?

s/recommended/optimized/

It’s just a name of the linux kernel

has nothing to do with those, no

I was misinformed

no

Is there a comparison somewhere?
What it has, why it has not been upstreamed and what benefits does it bring?
Other than “performance”

I think things like responsiveness (what BFQ is for for example) are hard to benchmark i’d say ^^

If it’s meant for UI responsiveness, take a recording with both and count the frames

Generally zen will be faster, but the power consumption is higher

i believe that https://liquorix.net/ has all the info a normal user would want

if you’re searching for the implementation or implementation details though you’re better off reading the source i think
