Modelsim (errno = ENOSPC) error

Hey all.

I dont know whats happened my Modelsim but anytime I try and do anything with it like open/close/create a project I get this error:

# ** Error: (vsim-7) Failed to open ini file "tmpfile" in write mode. # No space left on device. (errno = ENOSPC)

There is almost 3Gb of free space on my harddrive so I dont understand the "No space left on device" line.

Has anyone seen this before?

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

If you are using Linux, can you check that you have enough space left in /var/tmp

df -k /var/tmp

Rog,

Please check if the directory is Read-Only. By right-clicking the directory name in Explore window, you may see 'Properties' in the last item of popped menu and left click it, then you can check its Attribute: Read-only.

If the directory is in read-only status, Modelsim fails to write its files back into the directory.
