Please be more precise: with the information you have given, it is
impossible to guess WHY it is failing: maybe a typo in your command-line,
maybe permissions problems, maybe read-only filesystem.

Read the error message. If you do not understand it, copy it as carefully as
possible (copy-paste if you can) here 

"&> file" is a bashism but should work.

"> file 2&1" is a typo for "> file 2>&1"

If you can not obtain a writable filesystem, mount a tmpfs somewhere.
