Hello,

I have a new error on start crowdsec

```auto
time="2024-02-02T16:22:43+01:00" level=error msg="error in stop : no space left on device" type=file

```

Perhaps because I have a lot of file in logs ? Acquisition are Apache access log files.

I have ram on server :

```auto
# free -m
               total utilisé libre partagé tamp/cache disponible
Mem: 32059 18371 727 163 13202 13687

```

And disk space

```auto
/dev/md2 938G 674G 217G 76% /

```

There is a memory limit ?

Best regards

It could be that the process is running out of inotify since there a lot of files.

It seems to be like this issue : [Inotify queue overflow in file acquisition · Issue #2605 · crowdsecurity/crowdsec · GitHub](https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec/issues/2605)
