Recently my server started to behave weird and I have two issues which I believe to be related.

• In Vi :

• When I try to save a file I get :

       E509: Cannot create backup file
  

and I need to save using :x! - if I dont force, it does not save.

• When I open a file I get:

       E303: Unable to open swap file for "filename", recovery impossible
  

  • And any time I quit, I get:

      E138: Can't write viminfo file /root/.viminfo!
    

• Wordpress

It started to happen at the same time as the problem with Vi, all my installations of WordPress have a similar problem: every time I try to upload anything : image, theme, plugin, I get :

Missing a temporary folder. 

and I cannot upload the file.

• Some element of solution:

I have tried to to fsck at reboot, it worked and the problem was fixed for a while, then it got corrupted again (a few hours later).

Any idea what's the problem? Any idea how to fix it?

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on Amazon EC2
