Nepomuk, and now Baloo, want to open file-watchers on your system to get 
change-notifications directly from the kernel (filesystem driver), instead of 
polling the filesystem.
This is actually better, performance wise.

To avoid these message, I created the following file a long time ago:

% cat /etc/sysctl.d/97-kde-nepomuk-filewatch-inotify.conf 
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536

Guess I will need to change the name of that file now :)

Kind regards,

Joost
