Clementine errors while scanning music files

Just a FYI:
I started clementine on a console and did a scan on my really big music library. This returned a lot of the following errors at the end of scanning:

QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: Auf dem Gerät ist kein Speicherplatz mehr verfügbar (no space left on device)

This is due to a setting for the kernel which is too low in a standard arch config. The following command (issued as root) fixed this:

echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

You may want to put this in /etc/rc.local to make the setting persistent.
