</div>Thanks. Thats nice to read.<br>

I will just be setting this to 200000 for now and see how that goes.<br>
<br>
I hope that at some time a better kernel notification mechanism becomes<br>
available. I wonder whether kernel developers are aware of the issues<br>
desktop file indexing has with the current mechanisms. I can file some<br>
detailed bug report or enhancement request with <a href="http://kernel.org" target="_blank">kernel.org</a> and try to get<br>
in touch with some kernel developers about it, if that would be of help.<br></blockquote><div><br>I have tried mailing the relevant kernel developer (Eric Paris) a number of times, and I still haven't even gotten a reply. If you could get in touch with some of the kernel developers, that would be amazing!<br>
