You may be out of disk work space. Jerry explains at: http://www.computing.net/unix/wwwboard/forum/6035.html how to change the vi work directory to one with more space. In vi, do :set dir to display the current vi work directory (usually /var/tmp). And do :set dir=/whatever to change it. Then do :r myfile to read in your file.

Open vi with the command: vi Once you have vi open, type: :set directory=/bigfilesystem # where bigfilesystem is the name of a filesystem that has over 500 megs of available space. Type: :r bigfile If this doesn't work, you'll have to chop it up into smaller files and read them.
