Hello: First of all, I did increase this one to exceed number of files synced... cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches 1048576 But..... have a look at this debug lines: and this is just while: Yes... /home/WEBS/*/media is not being synchronized, and syncignore configuration is pretty good. I have looked for it at other peers and media is excluded... But if you have a look a debug logs at server, OnNotifyFileChange events for media appear........ this is for me a big problem, because /media should be forever excluded everywhere due to very very high number of files not to be synced never, and do not need / desire inotify events for files inside... it could be a intensive waste of CPU/RAM/kernel resources.... Also: There are not peers at all, server si running for hours, and CPU for btsync is now at this precise moment of 95% for minutes... have a look at debug log and see: This files are not new at all, are not modified and were there since server start.... not really updated... Why btsync does explode CPU with lines like this "file updated" while they are not really updated at all? Thanks so much for your support/efforts with community! Regards
