[[!comment format=mdwn username="http://joeyh.name/" subject="comment 3" date="2012-07-04T12:32:44Z" content=""" Jimmy, sounds like I could use something like this to get the current limit: sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc Probably prints \"sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc = 256\" or such.. can you verify? Once I have the limit, I can make the kqueue code use subset of it, and print out a message when it needs to be increased, like the inotify code does. (Also, the kqueue code only opens directories, not files, so unless you have 400000 directories, that's a little high.) --- On file removal not propigating, does this still happen? When you remove a file does a git commit automatically happen, or is that broken with kqueue? """]]
