Interesting! I guess registering watches on lots of stuff causes the system / kernel to slow down. If I remember correctly the BSD implementation requires a file descriptor per watched thing, so it could also be that they entire system is running out of file descriptors, maybe.
Any update on solving this or you just kept watching for changes off? I posted this question but all I’m told is to “search the threads” but I can’t find any definitive solution other then people turning the watching off…
My fix is that i have disabled Watch for changes and i am now using the manual scan and i have set the svaner to suit my needs. I have set it to 1800 sec.
See @calmh response just above. We have not come up with a fix to have Watch for changes enabled.
