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=</export/home/foobar> 

then press: 

:e . 

You will be able to see the 
entire file.
