Answer 1

Make sure you have enough free space on that partition. If not, you'll get this very error.

Solved! In my case deleting meteor/local/db/mongodb.lock and meteor reset fix the issue.

Thanks All!

I was able to fix it by export of LC_ALL, I am using Ubuntu

Answer 5

I'm running meteor under Vagrant and came across this issue, before finding this thread I removed my MongoDB files from /var/lib/mongodb as there was a .lock in there as well, this might or might not have been required but worth a look for other areas where MongoDB might be residing beside the .meteor folder.

Answer 6

I could recover the error by deleting the Local Mogo db lock.

Steps to remove the db lock :

1. Navigate to your app directory(where you have Meteor application files)
2. Remove file $ rm .meteor/local/db/mongod.lock

Error occurs if Meteor Application is still running in background. Db lock is not released by the running application or due to improper system/application shutdown and unavailable for second instance of same application. So take care to quit the application every time.
