Hi guys just to let you know
I've experienced problems with running "less" command because of inotify limit which was
8192 on my machine
It was hard to diagnose as a message I got from "less" was very misleading
like
tail: cannot watch `catalina.out': No space left on device
there was plenty of space and the real reason was inotify watchers had been eaten by ubuntuone ;-)
This can affect many users and a lot of others applications
i so dropbox is displaying a message to the user when inotify limit is reached
I think you should do the same to let the users know what is going on
to avoid unnecessary frustration and save their time

Thanks for making ubuntuone
