For some reason, close error on swap file :e! does not keep undo history in those cases even though it does keep it in the normal case (say sub-100KB). The swapfile solution appears to me now to work under any circumstances, which is very impressive. A bit of a weird question: How can I cleanly get rid of or move past the error message "E297: Write error in swap file"? I am running GVim when this happens and do not want to be forced to close it down and reopen a new GVim because I don't want to lose all my open buffers and ideally I'd like to keep all my undo history in each file too, but even a solution where I lose undo history would be an improvement. I have one limited workaround right now noted at bottom and am looking for something a little better... Why would I want to ignore such an error? A good question: I am running GVim in a virtual machine and I have it open on a file on the "host" file system rather than the VM's own file system and I "suspend" the VM. After coming back from the suspend, every GVim window open on a host system file will give this message. So the message

Dear All, I am new to Linux, I have installed Ubuntu https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1233464 in my laptop wich has windows Vista OS. Error: When I try to create new file in my home directory, I am getting the error - E297 and E303. I guess no space left in my home directory to create or write any files in my home directory. Note: While installing the Ubuntu, I have exported the Windows Documents, so I believe it has occupied the whole space in this partition(18.5 GB). Help me how to unmount the windows documents and make use of the memory allocated for Ubuntu. When I run the df command in my terminal it gives- File system 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted On /dev/sda7 18239964 17379588 0 100% / Thank You, Senthil Adv Reply August 7th, 2009 #2 Partyboi2 View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Ubuntu addict and loving it Join Date Jan 2007 Location Melbourne, Australia Beans 5,096 Re: Getting "E297: Write error in swap file" error! Hi, if you have free space on the partition that windows is, you can boot a Ubuntu live cd and use gparted (System>Admin>Partition Editor) and shrink down you windows partition and increase the size of the Ubuntu partition, using the resize function. Remember to backup your important stuff before working on partitions. Ubuntu Security Ubuntu Newbie Help: irc: #beginners-help on network irc.freenode.net How to Dual Boot Help o
error on certain directories, but not others? All partitions have plenty of free space.nano didn't tell me much of the issues I was finding, then vim told http://www.mudbytes.net/forum/topic/2208/ me this error.[EDIT] Using cp in this dir thinks there's no space on the http://linuxtoolkit.blogspot.com/2014/05/e297-write-error-in-swap-file.html device, which is incorrect. I'm on /home and there's 30G free space. I can copy anything out of this dir just fine.Gonna try a fsck tomorrow.

Is it possible that there's a permissions error somewhere?

Solved the problem, although I still need to do a fsck since those sectors are still around somewhere with issues probably.

It's an error writing to the temporary "swap" file that vim makes, and uses as a recovery option if your editor crashes or is disconnected abnormally. That used to be pretty common in the days of dialup connections.It can be caused by a full disk. It can ALSO be caused by not having write permission to the directory that holds the file you're editing. For example, if you setup a directory for multiple developers and give them write access
Write error in swap file", it is likely your partition is full or your quota has been reached.
