Hi!  
I have install self-hosted Okteto on k3s in lxd/lxc. And i have error with okteto-daemon:

```auto
{"level":"fatal","service":"daemon","error":"open /proc-aux/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches: permission denied","message":"tasks initialization failed"}

```

I do not understand the path `/proc-aux/sys/...`.  
Path `/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches` present in container.

What ideas do you have for this?

Hello!

Does `/proc-aux/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches` filepath actually exist?  
Also, what value does it have and what value does your `/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches` have?

Hello!

`/proc-aux/...` does not exist  
`/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches` - 524288 (increased to 10048576)

I believe the `/proc-aux` is where the node’s `/proc` directory is mounted. So this might be running into a permissions issue with the `/proc` directory, since we specify in our documentation that permission is needed to mount here: [Configuration Settings | Okteto Documentation](https://www.okteto.com/docs/self-hosted/administration/configuration/#overridefilewatchers)

thx  
I set the container as privileged and this solved the problem.

```auto
lxc profile set <container_profile_name> security.privileged true

```
