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
