Subject: Bug report: Incorrect error message for overwriting file with not enough disk space
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 11:48:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c9689b510608020948u4fee4dc4x8ab83230b26d7b34@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Bug report for Gnu Emacs
Version: 21.4.2
OS: Mandriva Linux 2006 Free
Filesystem: ext3

Scenario: overwriting (C-x C-w) an existing file, where the new file to be
written is larger than the available disk space on the filesystem where the
original file is kept.

Bug: after confirming that it is okay to overwrite the existing file, the
error message displayed is "file already exists".
Expected behavior: error message should read "No space left on device or
similar".

strace confirms that emacs is getting the right errno (ENOSPC) for the write
to the file handle.

Thanks,
Alex
