inotify limits are a well know issue with Synology NAS. And the “no space left on device” message can be confusing when it appears in the log files.

Be aware that DSM updates may reset the limit to the default value.

The Synology FAQ shows how to calculate the correct value then increase the limit using a scheduled task. This makes it easy to re-apply after DSM updates. It is not necessary to run the task at every NAS boot.
