Hi people.
I am trying to resolve an issue on a server where something goes wrong in a strange way:
Some LDAP users now cannot save anything on their desktop or folders. The profile is stored on the server. For expample if they create an empty file on the desktop, type some text and save it, it is empty.
So I started a shell, logged in with the user credentials, open VI and trying to save me it gives me:
"test.txt" E514: write error (file system full?)
Also I notices I am getting an error message like:
E297: Write error in swap file
So I logged in as root, created a file in the users directory, typed some text and saved it successfully. As normal user I can open the file but still cannot edit it. I set the file permissions to 777 without success. Also I deleted the swp File manually as shown above...
E297: Write error in swap file
E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name "/var/tmp/test.txt.swp"

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.
(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r test.txt"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file "/var/tmp/test.txt.swp"
to avoid this message.
Swap file "/var/tmp/test.txt.swp" already exists!
"test.txt" 1L, 10C
Using swap file "/var/tmp/test.txt.swp"
Original file "~/Desktop/test.txt"
Recovery completed. You should check if everything is OK.
(You might want to write out this file under another name
and run diff with the original file to check for changes)
Delete the .swp file afterwards.
Does anyone has a suggestion for me and where to find the issue? I am not really experienced on Apple systems.
Many many thanks in advance
