----- Original Message ----- From: "J.S." <johann@broadpark.no> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 9:48 AM Subject: Fw: Nvi saved the file dfvi > Why does root continuously send me this e-mail? > It's likely that you got into a 'vi' editor session on the file with name "dfvi" and something went wrong before the file was saved/written out [there are lots of ways to finish in vi, but ctl-C is _not_ one of them], system crashed, etc., [though the latter seems unlikely on freebsd]). It's likely to continue tell you this. Do what it says and it'll quit. A crude fix: somewhere on your box is a file of "vi recovery sessions"; remove it and it'll quit bothering you. I believe the default location is /var/tmp/vi.recover.
