Thanks for the info and help @ChuckPa!
Can you answer a couple questions?
#1 Setting the ‘inotify’ table to 65536 would be enough to cover my needs right now, but does setting the ‘inotify’ table to 98304, or 131072, or higher make any difference? (System speed, resources, etc.) My Synology came with 4 GB of memory which I have upgraded to 16 GB, so I’m not worried about memory.
#2 Just to be clear, each time DSM updates, I will need to manually run the ‘inotify’ Scheduled Task to increase it again? If yes, is there a way to force it to automatically run the script any time DSM updates?
#3 “WARNING: Due to how Synology manages this capability, you are strongly urged to place ONLY those items which should be monitored in your media.” What does this mean exactly?
I probably have 10,000 or more empty folders which I have created so I can type little notes about the files in the directory. For example, I would create an empty folder with a name of “This file is 1080p and was encoded with Very Fast settings and AAC Stereo”. Is this bad having all these empty folders? If so, how bad and what affect will it have?
Thank you so much or your help!
