The most likely causes of this error would be:
- permissions
- path to dest directory doesn't exist at some point, or
permission denied at some point.
- quota
- filesystem has been mounted/remounted ro (due, for example
to an i/o error)
if you can 'ls -l /path/to/file.txt' and the dest file actually exists, see what
are the permissions of the file. perhaps it cannot be opened for write (to
re-write it with the new contents).
See if the dest directory exists, and make sure you have write access to it.
touch /path/to/file.txt.foo
rm /path/to/file.txt.foo
check your quota
quota
check if the partition that the dest file lives in is mounted r/o
mount -v
Hope that helps,
