do you actually have some disk space free? have you got write access to
the dir you're trying to edi the files?
vim (that's what linux uses for vi) creates temp files in the same dir,
with the ending .swp and the prefix ., eg fred.c becomes .fred.c.swp
a test for if you can write to a dir is to touch a new file, eg: touch
test.txt
if you can't create a file then that's probably the cause.
