The configured user limit (524288) on the number of inotify watches has been reached #222317

Closed

Description

Type: Bug

Open vscode to remote.
Actual:
Goes through initialiazation. When Project is loaded (as per the bottom toolbar) get the message that it can't do any more watches as they are all used up.
Expected:
Goes through initialization. Excludes the excluded patterns that are find in files.watcherExclude. When Project is loaded, a reasonable number of watches have been used and VScode usable.

I have tried all the suggestions I can find. Exclusions that don't seem to exclude; Workspaces (some said this would limit it); etc. For some reason, that I cannot find, VScode loads all the files in /user/share/dotnet as watched files and fills up the watchers.
VScode has become unusable to develop with.
