## Common issues
### Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached
There is a hard limit for the number of files observed by processes
using inotify in linux. Slidev uses it to monitor for changes and update
the render. If the amount of files in this repository becomes too big, or
if there are other programs that tend to monitor file changes, (like IDEs)
opened, the limit might get reached and slidev will crash.
Read the current limit:
```shell
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
```
Set a new limit:
```shell
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
```
Warning: it can lead to more files being observed resulting in more system
resources (RAM&CPU) being used.
