Package: minidlna Version: 1.1.2+dfsg-1.1+b3 Severity: important On startup on my system minidlna exits with the following log message:
[2016/03/25 15:04:04] inotify.c:198: warn: WARNING: Inotify max_user_watches [16382] is low or close to the number of used watches [1887] and I do not have permission to increase this limit. Please do so manually by writing a higher value into /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches. There are several problems with this. One is that this message is marked as a warning and it is therefore very surprising to find it treated as a fatal error. This is especially the case since the message says that the number of used watches is about an order of magnitude lower than the limit which doesn't suggest that the limit has actually been hit. The other is that since the program appears to have support for non-inotify operation (there's a configuration option to control inotify use) I'd expect it to fall back to that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages minidlna depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59 ii libavformat56 6:11.6-1~deb8u1 ii libavutil54 6:11.6-1~deb8u1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u3 ii libexif12 0.6.21-2 ii libflac8 1.3.0-3 ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-11 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-12 ii libogg0 1.3.2-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.8.7.1-1+deb8u1 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.4-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 minidlna recommends no packages. minidlna suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/minidlna.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
