Node.js: what is ENOSPC error and how to solve?

Question

I have a problem with Node.js and uploading files to server. For uploading files to server I use this plugin. When starting file upload to the server, Node.js process crashed and show error:

Error: ENOSPC.

The server code doesn't run.

$ df -h

Answer 1

Run the below command to avoid ENOSPC:

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

---

For Arch Linux add this line to /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf:

fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

Then execute:

sysctl --system

This will also persist across reboots. Technical Details Source
