Actually, Dropbox giver you a warning via libnotify inotify. It tends to go away too quickly to properly read though, much less actually copy down the command...

When I work on the <a href="http://git-annex.branchable.com/design/assistant/webapp/">webapp</a>, I'm planning to make it display this warning, and any other similar warning messages that might come up.

<p>For the unfamiliar, it's hard to tell if a command like that would persist. I'd suggest being as clear as possible, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code>Increase the limit for now by running:
sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=81920
Increase the limit now and automatically at every boot by running:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=81920 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p
</code></pre>

Good thought Jim. I've done something like that.
