    When meteor run is executed, it starts mongodb with default mongo settings, so it creates (massive) prealloc files in .meteor/local/db/journal.

    There is no obvious way to disable this behavior. What I have done as a workaround is change the file app/lib/mongo_runner.js and add a --nojournal parameter that gets passed to mongodb at startup.

    I created an issue for this: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/15
