Hello, in our environment we implemented nfs4acls (zfsacls), with acl inheritance and aclmode restrictions. So the owner of a file is allowed to modify and delete her files, but not to change the file's mode. While classic vi doesn't have any problems with that, vim is spaming direcoties with swap and inter-mod files. Apparently, if any chmod (for swap files or inter-mod files) failed, these files won't be deleted afterwards. Is there a workorround? Is the problem known at all?
In my opinion there's a related problem with the "nomodifiable" option. Although set, vim creates a swap file. There are directories which I don't want to be altered in any way, and usually I use 'less' for viewing files in such directories. But I'd like to use vim74/macros/less.sh as an alias for 'less' – which creates swap files :-( I simply use this patch: --- /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/macros/less.sh.orig 2014-10-06 15:51:25.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/macros/less.sh 2014-10-16 16:10:26.000000000 +0200 @@ -8,9 +8,9 @@ echo "Missing filename" 1>&2 exit fi - vim --cmd 'let no_plugin_maps = 1' -c 'runtime! macros/less.vim' - + vim -R --cmd 'let no_plugin_maps = 1' -c 'runtime! macros/less.vim' - else - vim --cmd 'let no_plugin_maps = 1' -c 'runtime! macros/less.vim' "$@" + vim -R --cmd 'let no_plugin_maps = 1' -c 'runtime! macros/less.vim' "$@" fi else # Output is not a terminal, cat arguments or stdin I guess "nomodify" should prefent vim from creating a swap file, but in the mean time, perhaps you want to adopt this patch. Btw., I'm absolutely no vim power user. In fact, I don't know/use all those great extensions you've developed! I just like syntax highlightning and therefore prefere 'vim' over the base 'vi'.
