Today I got the lsyncd problem and found the following error in /var/log/lsyncd.

Wed Sep 21 03:48:24 2016: ERROR: Cannot add watch /Dir_name/file_name (28:No space left on device)
===
I googled the error message and found the solution. The max_user_watches reached its limit. I need to increase the value of max_user_watches.
At first, checked the current value.
[root@host ~]# cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
32768
To increase the max_user_watches, I edited the /etc/sysctl.cnf.
[root@host ~]# vi /etc/sysctl.confadded the folowing line.
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 500000
To take a effect, I did the following command.
[root@host ~]# sysctl -p
That's it!
Temporary solution
echo 65536 >/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
[root@host ~]# cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
65536
Finally I got around the error. :)
