 Unix Tip #4490- June 27, 2025
 
VI AND NOT DISK SPACE  
  
  
If you get the error while  
opening a file in vi,  
  
"There is not enough space in the file system.  
[Press return to continue]"  
  
and you know that you have  
space in your home directory,  
than simply use this command  
in vi, say  
  
:set dir=  
  
then press:  
  
:e .  
  
You will be able to see the  
entire file.
