I am running a Python script that is causing the above error. The unusual thing is this script is running on a different machine and is having no problems.
The difference is that on the machine that is causing the problems I am writing to an external hard drive. To make things even weirder this script has run on the problem machine and already written over 30,000 files.
Some relevant information (The code that is causing the error):
nPage = 0
while nPage != -1:
for d in data:
if len(d.contents) > 1:
if '<script' in str(d.contents):
l = str(d.contents[1])
start = l.find('http://')
end = l.find('>',start)
out = get_records.openURL(l[start:end])
print COUNT
with open('../results/'+str(COUNT)+'.html','w') as f:
f.write(out)
COUNT += 1
nPage = nextPage(mOut,False)
The directory I’m writing to:

Proof there is enough space:

Some things I have tried:
- Changing the path of the write to the direct location instead of going through the link
- Rebooting the machine
- Unmounting and re-mounting the drive
It turns out the best solution for me here was to just reformat the drive. Once reformatted all these problems were no longer problems.
