-ENOSPC is probably caused by exceeding the maximum number of allowed
user watches.
The default is 16k. If you have more files than that in your home
directory, Beagle will generate that error.
You can bump the number via /sys/class/misc/inotify/max_user_watches.
As root, write a larger number, say 32k, in there. It makes sense to do
so during boot.
