Comment 2 for bug 158040

The quick fix is to increase number of inotify watch limit by default to 64,000 or something high

this should be a bug against the kernel or boot config though rather than tracker

short term fix :
echo 65565 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

long term: apply to a boot up script

For hardy, I will attempt to write a kernel patch to generate a persistent ring buffer log file of all file changes which can be used by user space apps instead of watches - this would dramatically increase startup as no crawling of directories to place watches on them would be needed
