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.
