Meteor ubuntu startup exception error "watch ENOSPC"

I have an error on my meteor app witch occur immediatly after startup, that says : 

=> Meteor server running on: http://localhost:3000/

/home/<me>/.meteor/tools/3cba50c44a/tools/run.js:425
    throw e;
          ^

    at exports.inFiber (/home/<me>/.meteor/tools/3cba50c44a/tools/fiber-helpers.js:24:12)

I just have to re-start meteor and it is starting normally.

I'm on ubuntu 12.10, Meteor 0.6.5.1, and packages installed are the following :

insecure
preserve-inputs
jquery
http
standard-app-packages
oauth2
accounts-base
oauth
service-configuration
accounts-ui
random
accounts-oauth
accounts-google

Do anyone have an idea ?

Thanks a lot Philippe

Run this command

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=582222 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

This will increase quantity of watched files setting for Ubuntu.

The error ENOSPC means that there isn't enough space on your disk for meteor to run. While i'm not absolutely certain it is the issue it might be something to do with space or permissions.

Have a look with df to see what you have free, or delete some files if this is the issue.
