This could affect the reliability of the Magic Folder uploader in detecting all file-change events when a large number of files in the local directory are modified. In principle it could detect this using the IN_Q_OVERFLOW event, and rescan all files in the directory to see whether they were last-modified since the timestamp of the previous event (assuming that we trust the last-modified timestamps).",defect,closed,normal,eventually,code-frontend-magic-folder,1.8.2,wontfix,inotify reliability magic-folder,,
