Problem description

I have a project that builds inside a docker. Because a lot of dependencies are only inside the docker, rdm and rc must also run in the docker. When I first run rdm and initialize the database, everything seems to operate as expected. I tried a few rc --follow-location commands and I get the right output. However, if I restart rdm it seems to fail to initialize the cached database. I see a lot of errors that look like FileSystemWatcher::watch() watch failed for <file_name>.

Any idea why I might see that error?

@nickjmeyer Perhaps some inotify configuration issue man inotify
