Unable to save config - 3020 model

[ckeithjones]

When the switch reboots and I try to save the running config I get this error message:

228_CRIT_VM17_3020#wr
Building configuration...

Error writing new config file "flash:/config.text.new"
nv_done: unable to open "flash:/private-config.text.new"
nv_done: unable to open "flash:/multiple-fs.new"[OK]

Has anyone seen this problem before?

What do you get when you issue the comand show flash

What version of IOS are you runnning?

I have a feeling a sh flash will indicate that there are 0 bytes free.

Here is a bug I have dealt with before:

CSCsc41813

A switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SED might reload or display  error messages when the user attempts to access the flash filesystem.   This might occur when using the dir or copy commands on the flash filesystem, or changing boot configurations, such as boot system filename

To avoid this problem, you can upgrade the switch software to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SED1.

Both of you pointed toward the problem. It did show 0 bytes free so I deleted

some old crashinfo folders and now it's working. Thanks for the help!

I am glad that our responses did point you toward the solution of your problem. Thank you for marking the question as resolved (and thanks for the points). It makes the forum more useful when people can read about a problem and can know from the marking that a solution was found. You have helped that process and we appreciate it.
