/e is a cofs mount from windows e:\
in vim, write file to /e/ issue error:

other fs requests

I got same problem (in a brand new installed colinux 0.7.2, was already
not working with 0.7.1)

Solution:
a (good) solution is to type the following command in vim: ":set nofsync".
It deactivate the vim's fsync feature that force flush to disk (:help
fsync), but as you system is stable, it should not be a problem ;-). You
can also put it in your .vimrc file.

cofs3 on /e type cofs (rw,uid=1000,gid=100)
what if u do "vim --noplugin"? i'd like to see if i can tune fsync off. i
may be faster than patching cofs

I know, cofs has some limits.  But my vim works.  Opened a file on cofs
(is a NTFS) and exit vim with command "wq".  No problems, no warnings.

hn@colinux:~> vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 6.2 (2003 Jun 1, compiled Sep 23 2003 23:25:02)

How you have mounted cofs?

hn@colinux:~> mount | grep cofs0:
cofs0:/ on /media/cofs0 type cofs
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=500,gid=100,fmask=0664,dmask=0775)
